I read all these posts and I want to respond and then I start writing.... and then I erase it and start again... and that doesn't sound right so I end up not writing anything at all. Anybody else get this? It happens all the time so it's not because I woke up drunk today.

that's probably normal but we pay too much attention to it. "Oh gee, another symptom of DP/DR!" Or that's the way I think anyway. It's the same thing with talking to people, I erase everything I start saying since what are words anyway, they can't express my thoughts. I can't send emails or text messages,I'm not at all sure if what I say is absolute nonsense and I just can't see it.

Peacedove I am glade you brought this up because I do it all the time.
It takes me forever to write a post and sometimes I just give up and don't post anything.
This is also why you will never find me in the chatroom, because I feel that there is no way I could keep up.

As maria said what are words anyway, they can't express my thoughts.

My thoughts never come out right, and the harder I try to get people to understand me the more disturbed I sound.

I am doing this right now, so I am just going to end this post and submit it without reading it back to myself 10 times to make sure it makes sense.

Yeh I do all the time, I can second guess and even third gueess what Im typing, I don't 'flow' as well as I should I think, constannlty worried about coming across in the wrong way or appearing stupid or foolish.

I am the same in life, I talk very slowly and always on the edge, scared of being exposed as an idiot or being too coucnious of how others see me (which I always think they see me as negative).
