For the last couple years my anxiety has been coming out in my speaking. I physically can't get words out. I try to say hi to people, I open my mouth but I just can't get the words out. This happens very frequently because I work in a store. This even happens when I'm trying to ask someone a question or in the middle of a conversation where I can't say certain words. I have seen speech therapists, social workers and a psychologist and no one can figure out what my issue is or how to help me. I keep thinking it's going to get better but it's not, it's getting worse. I'm losing hope. Right now I have motivation to keep trying. I don't want to die. I don't want to quit my job, I want to be able to complete my internship coming up but I'm worried that in the future I'm going to lose that hope and motivation. I don't want to get to the point of not wanting to live because of this but I feel like that is the direction I am going in. I am seeking out help but no one is able to help me

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I'm sorry there's nothing I can offer with regard to your concern, although I certainly do understand the effects long-term anxiety can have on a person having experienced that myself. I hope you'll be able to find someone who can help you. Perhaps other members, here on MSF, will have ideas they can share. Best wishes...

That sounds very scary and frustrating. I wish I knew of a solution.
