I do this all the time! I don't know exactly what it's from, but it's QUITE normal as far as I know.

I had this severely when I went to court against the person that injured me. I could barely talk!

I think it's pretty normal when dealing with a lot of fear.

It is normal reaction!
I have to remind myself to breathe and it eases off.

Absolutely, especially when I'm pressured or under stress. Images and thoughts come into my mind faster than my brain can put words to them, and they jumble together, or a word comes out that doesn't fit the thought I'm trying to communicate. Pain in the arse, that's what it is. It's hard to be taken seriously when you can't trust your own mouth to say what you want it to!!!

Boy, I'm glad you posted that. I hadn't thought to ask it here, but I'm glad to hear that it's common. I bet it's a physical reaction to adrenaline when we're nervous.

Have a great day,
