Difficult To Talk? - Anxiety Message Board

Anyone else ever feel like it is sort of hard to talk, or speak certain words sometimes????

Kind of like your nervous, and you can't seem to relax your Jaw or Muscles in your Jaw???

I mean I can talk just fine, but more like trouble moving your mouth/jittery???

Thanks,

Hi, I just posted a question similar to yours. Yes I do have that problem. When Im jittery as Iam today. I can talk just fine as well. However I feel like Im having trouble. No-one really notices. Sometimes I will kind of stuter like. Hard to describe....not a real stutter. Just jittery like. Sometimes the words feel thick if that makes sense. Like my tounge is thick. I sometimes have to consciuosly say it alittle slower. Or maybe it's just that I tend to talk really fast when Im having high anxiety and who wouldn't trip over their tounge talking so fast. Sometimes it is noticable by my family. However when Im out and about talking to people for work. Or talking to clients on the phone I never pay attention to it and can't remember that I have a problem at that time.....Anyway is this anything like what your feeling?

hey laura,

Yeah that deffinently sounds like what I experience sometimes..nothing serious...just from time to time....

You don't think it is anything serious do you?

I hope not....I really don't think so though. Sometimes I wonder if it's from the Klonopin too. Sometimes Im so worried about it and so consciuos of it that I think it makes it worse. However I do know when Im busy I don't even think about it or notice it at all. So that leads me to believe that it is anxiety related. Im hoping more people respond though....hang in there!
