i get this repetitive thought that tells me that i cant speak when i am in the middle of conversation,or just always thinking of what i am gonna say, or what i should say , it really sux and really interferes with my social life, is this normal, ive given up my drinking habit to start working on my ocd, so if anyone can help that would be great , is there a medicine out there that is good for this frustration?

antidepressant meds such as prozac often help for OCD

I know exactly what you are going through. (I think anyways)
I often run into this situation when I am talking to my girlfriend of 4 years. Usually it happens when I am trying to explain something that I have learned or something she doesn't understand or know about. Even though I know what I want to say in my head and fully understand it, I seem to go blank and stop talking mid sentence. I can't decide if this problem has to do with my OCD or not. I seem to worry too much about sounding dumb when speaking to my girlfriend which seems to make my brain shut down sometimes when trying to recall something to speak about in a conversation. Sometimes it's really simple stuff though which worries me that I either have brain damage or a learning disability which is why I am hoping it's OCD related.

This happens to me with people's names...and i know exactly when its about to happen...i can feel it...i dont' know what to do about it, but lately i've been working really hard mentally to stop the thought that "i dont remember" before it enters into my head, then i feel confident and can go on.
