I have been struggling a lot for the past 1 and half years without being able to find the reason why I have lost myself. In the sense, I dunno the reason y I had a sudden break down in my communication skills. And, just like that I searched on Utube about my issue and am landed here. My written/typed work may sound good coz I am not having to be spontaneous. But, while it comes to speaking, I find it difficult to find the right words. U may not believe, but, I was really really fluent in English till I was 16 yrs old. Am 18 now and am lost. I dunno what the cure is. Due to this, I am losing confidence and thus am often getting confined to just the four walls of my home. Even now, I am blank. I dunno what the cure is coz, just now I have found what my problem was and how it is addressed. I wanna be treated. Like, I wanna be cured. Could someone help me out??

I didn't know there was a name for this other than tongue-tied. I'm so glad I found this. Can anyone suggest any supplements or vitamins that help?

I’m somewhat young and have never had reading issues that much but for some reason over the past year ever since I got depressed reading has become very difficult, every time I read I begin to get chest pain and my heart begins to hurt which sounds weird to say but that’s what happens

Hey, for 5 years i have been going through few second attacks that happen every time i move a part of my body. The current state of when my attacks occur is that when i move my arm or my leg suddenly or react to a door bell or try cross the road or stand up from sitting position quickly one side of my body gets stiff and goes in a crawling position. It has come to a point that my jaws also goes in a crawling position. I am a confident person but these attacks make me less sociable with people. Please help.

I try every day to sort things out, no problems in any way, not confused and clear thinking. Just my speech and words. but wake up in the morning and still slow. I really wish I can get help.
