Answer 2

Stress and exhaustion can cause stuttering and scattered thoughts, but there could also be other causes. A person who is stressed is at a higher risk of having a stroke. Your symptoms could possibly be due to a stroke if you have high blood pressure or if you are overweight. However, your description of the speech and thought problems match stress-related causes better than a neurological problem such as a stroke. If your speech problems are more than stuttering (i.e. can't remember the correct word, making up nonsense words when you meant to say something else, etc.), then it would be a good idea to visit the doctor.

Otherwise, you are lucky to be getting this warning sign that you are overloaded and need to take some kind of break. If you can't take some time for yourself, at least think about the things that are most important to you, and don't any of the things that are not on the list of important things (if you can).

Good luck!

There could be an excellent variety of motives. Stuttering is presently believed to be a speech motor affliction brought about to three quantity with the help of genetic components. as quickly as a newborn starts to stutter there are elementary components which could set off an boost in the quantity or severity. assorted the triggers would comprise exhilaration, tiredness, and competing for a turn to talk. each and every now and then stuttering is wrong for cluttering- sounds very comparable. be sure you spot a speech pathologist- they'd have the main know-how. I even have heard of an excellent scientific care noted as The Lidcombe application. they have a e book that would somewhat be relatively actually worth the study~ stable success!

Answer 4

Hi. Sorry to hear things are going to bad for you at the moment!

I'm a speech pathologist. I saw your post.

What you are experiencing isn't true stuttering. It's "dysfluency" due to your anxiety. You are not turning into a stutterer, if that is what you mean.

It sounds like you will need to make some changes in your life, and soon! You are so distracted with your stress, anxiety, etc. that you literally can't think straight.

Please think of what you can do to start turning things around. Can you get some type of support going for yourself? Do you have resources for support so you can sort things out?

Take care, and hang in there, okay? xoxox

Answer 5

I am in high school and every time I do a presentation my nerves just go out of control and I stutter horribly. I can't stop thinking about the people in front of me and what they must think that it makes it even worse. I have never gotten up and not stuttered. So I honestly believe that everything on my mind, my estranged brother, my resent move, and fear of public speaking, leads me to stutter, and any emotionally stressed person to stutter.

Answer 6

This sounds clearly like stress.

A stutter or any habit can be exaggerated by stress, it is your mind and body's attempt to release some of that pent up stress. Or, as in your case, it is your stress getting in the way of your speech.

You need to tell your husband that you are just too stressed out and that you really need his help and support. Try and do something you want to do this weekend. Have him do a few of your household chores while you take a soothing bath. If you ask him to help you and he really does love you then he will be willing to try and solve your problem.

That can help with some of the stress at home and next you need to control your stress at work. One idea is that you can leave for work early to avoid the rush hour commute. It will be a pain getting up so early, but it will be a less stressful drive. I don't know what you can do at work, but you need some help with your work load.

Men excel at problem solving and that is our default mode if you present them with a problem they will do their best to try and solve it. Women excel in their relationships, the number of and the frequency of communication. You need to contact that network you have and get them to help you, even if it is just to listen. It is a lot better to tell your woes to a woman than a man, because the man thinks you are looking to be fixed, not just blowing off steam.

Answer 7

absolutely.

it sounds like you're having an acute stress reaction. I would call a psychiatrist to give you some anti anxiety medication just until things can come together for you.

there is nothing wrong with this. Once your speech starts to flounder, it's time to really get professional help. There is nothing wrong per say, but your brain is starting to shut other things down because you're in such an emotional/stressful state right now.

this happened to me after I got fired, my friend was murdered, and my grandmother died-all in three months. You can get better though!! Just get some professional help for yourself.

Answer 8

I think so. I have trouble with this, too, when I get nervous and when I am extremely stressed. I have so many things on my mind that I can't even make fragments of sentences, let alone hold a decent conversation with anyone. I also have trouble sleeping when I'm stressed. I can't stop thinking long enough to sleep. You need to relax. Maybe you should get away from everything and clear your head. You will feel better afterwards.

Answer 9

Yes, definitely!

Stress can overload your cognitive (thinking) skills, so you can't use the "upper" levels of your brain.

It's like, if a tiger is running after a Ph.D. in the forest, how good a lecture could she deliver, right then??

Take a break from work, if you can...several sick days. Go to a doctor and/or counselor and/or clergy, just for someone to talk to & get advice about where to go from here. If marriage problems, try marriage counseling.

Good luck!
