Mute

JT

Been assessing where my selective mutism begins and ends. I've come to the conclusion that it's a self defense mechanism that protects either my point of view or my energy levels, and comes most often when I haven't had any space to myself for some time. So I shutdown and prioritise my internal thought processes over my external communications.

Was wondering where yours appears?

  • This is how I've been lately, and it happens semi-regularly. I thought it was associated with depression but I'm not depressed. So this is yet another instance of me not understanding my behaviour. I've been reluctant to talk or write; even on here. Trying to stop myself feeling overwhelmed means that I end up doing nothing.
