    recently i'm having trouble expressing myself.

    I should start off by letting you know i'm in the mental health service for 'psychotic disorder'

    I've still no actual diagnoses and i'm not even sure it is related.

    But recently i've started feeling worse.
    Worse than i ever have with almost all my symptoms.

    Over the past fews weeks i'm struggling to talk.
    And i don't just mean being shy and stuff.

    I mean i know exactly what I want to talk about but it's like i don't know how to say it.
    When i do talk i'm unsure of everything.

    I've always prided myself on my ability to express myself.
    I've always been articulate from a very young age.
    But recently i just seem to look at people, open my mouth and wave my hands around.

    It's not all the time, but it seems to be when i'm talking about something that needs more than just a fleeting thought.

    It's like i can't arrange things in my head for them to come out and make sense.
    I can pause for a moment and try to compose myself but i just end up sitting there for 10 minutes and my head can't seem to make sense of the thoughts.
    Any ideas/tips?
