And most times, I have a hard time speaking in general, & usually wind up not doing it at all. It's like I totally just freeze up. I stop moving, I just look around, & I don't say anything. Sometimes I manage to get out an "I don't feel right" if my boyfriend is speaking to me or asking me what's wrong, but beyond that, I just freeze up more.

Thanks for sharing that with us, Shay.
Yes, I have trouble explaining what is going on. Sometimes I can't think of the details in a way that is orderly and can be put into words. My thinking feels like a chaotic junk yard without any paths or roads. Its painful to dredge up memories of even 5 minutes ago and put them into language that others can vaguely understand. Then, as you say, it takes a lot of effort to get very little out in comprehensible words. The other thing is I usually don't want to communicate anyway - I tend to go crouched up and wide eyed, or bury myself somewhere to keep the noises out.
