Hello. Recently, I have been having trouble in speech. Like, I will know what I generally want to say, but the sentence I say makes no sense and I feel really embarrassed and I have to restart over again. Like, as an example, I will want to say "I was working yesterday and something funny happened" but it would come out like "so yesterday I was working yesterday and this funny person. No; this dumb person who thinks is funny. No; something funny happened." Like I just talk to fast and I speak out of how i would normally say something like that.

Also, I have been reading letters and numbers weirdly recently. Like i looks like l and 1 looks like 7 and 6 looks like 9 etc., and I something even miss a letter or number in something like 12342, I would read 1242 as an example. I can't following where I am reading before and lose what line I should read of a book.

I also call words things that don't even relate to the same word but I am thinking that word at that time so I say it like I used "lock" instead of "hook" once. True story.

Anyways, I feel really embarrass talking because I'm afraid that I'm going to make no sense in what I'm saying and will have to restart. Does anyone else do this? What is this anyways? Thanks for the response What is this? .

here in my location when speech is suddenly affected, and suddenly having trouble reading that points to a physical health problem, alcohol or drug abuse or medication over dosage type problem....

there are many learning disorders that come with these same problems but learning problems associated with reading and speech are now tested for in preschools, elementary schools and basic check ups done by a doctor almost as fast as a child begins to speak, read and write when they are toddlers and school aged.

mental disorders usually dont come with speech problems like not saying what is being thought about. usually speech problems associated with mental problems are things like sometimes someone with schizophrenia will rhyme their words. someone with bipolar disorder will sometimes speak really fast and sometimes loudly, someone with depression will speak slow and with sadness sound to their voice, someone with adhd will sometimes speak really fast. but one common denominator with mental disorders and speech patterns is that its not something that comes on suddenly

my point even though we are not able to make a diagnosis my....guess....is that you dont have to worry about this being a mental problem. just a guess mind you. only your own treatment providers can actually make a diagnosis of what this is with in you.

if I remember right you are a minor ( not over 18) which means in order for you to find out what this is you will need to contact your parents and let them know what is going on. also if I remember right you posted that you have lawyers involved because of your parents divorce and that getting into mental health treatment depends up lawyers. my suggestion is contact your lawyers they will be able to get you in to see a medical doctor if your parents are not able to do that on their own.

Im sorry I cant be more helpful but we cant diagnose (tell you what this is) each other. please let your parents know what is going on so that they can get you the help you may need for this.
Thanks for this!
