What’s It Like When You Have Trouble With Words And How Long Does It Go On For?

How does it feel when you’re having trouble getting words out? I have occasional trouble with it, like today, and I wanna see how it’s affected others.

It’s hard for me to talk after a seizure

I have times the word is in my brain yet won't come out of my mouth right, nor be able to text it. Like my body has a freeze. I just think of a word like it otherwise I would go crazy. Lol. If not meds take it on the chin, laugh and move on.

I have the same problem. It's like you can see the words in your mind but it won't come out

When I'm nervous I get my words muddled up and I talk fast. So people ask me to say it again. Before a fit and straight after I can't speak properly. My daughter said I sound like I'm drunk.

It depends really. But just make sure that you have something with your medical information & your meds. I get like that too but I am usually with my mom so she knows. I get nausea and I can't speak. I just sit and wait until it passes. Feel better Marina.
