I've noticed recently that I've been getting stuck on words. Sometimes I'll be talking and I'll stop on a word in the middle of the sentence and repeat it three or four times like a broken record before continuing on (the full word, not stuttering parts of it. i.e. "The, the, the," instead of "Th-th-th-"). Sometimes I can't even get words out.
I was telling Erika about it today and a few minutes later had a moment where it happened. And then I had a moment where I couldn't start the sentence I was thinking about. There was a lot of "Uh..uh I... um...ugh. I a...um..." It's not that I couldn't think of the words to use, I just couldn't get my mouth to say them. I eventually had to back up and figure out a different way to say it to get my point across and that finally came out.
I don't know if it's something as simple as I'm thinking faster than I'm talking or I'm talking faster than I'm thinking or if it's something malfunctioning in my brain that I should be a bit worried about.
I'm totally not in the mood for this.
