Partially mute

I feel like the words are there but they won't come out. I know what I want to say but for some reason I can't say anything. Does anyone know why this is or how to help? I'm only partially mute but I don't know why I struggle with certain people more than others and how I can make it easier with said people.

  • I have experienced that at times of overload and I know how frustrating it can be, and that frustration can make it worse! Remember that communicating is more important that speaking. Encourage the other person to understand what is happening for you and to ask you some yes/no questions. Maybe try out signing, writing or drawing instead when the words won't come out. Above all, know you are OK and we folks here understand.
