Hi I was diagnosed with Panic disorder and DP in 2011 after getting sudden disassociation feeling while working in office. Post 3 yrs of therapy and medication was completely cured. Recently one month back again while presenting a zoom meeting in office felt like can't speak anymore, had to apologise and end the meeting. Tried to calm myself down but mental confusion was not easing. BP raised to 150/100 normally have 120/80 . Only after reassurance from doctors in Emergency was able to feel normal again. Since then getting panic attacks again while in office.

My Question is this sudden in ability to speak , is it just another panic disorder or DP symptom or need further investigation

Same here. Usually when I ain't putting attention to my speech I can normally speak. But some times I stop and think: "How on earth can I speak Portuguese/ English with other person? Who is generating this words?" It also happens when I'm walking and moving me body in general. I think something like "How and Why am I moving me body? Who makes the decisions?". This things freak me out and unables me to finish What I was talking.


So, I believe that it is just another DP symptom.

I’ve had this many times and find that it is always related to something emotionally happening to me, and it’s usually something that I’m angry or bothered by that somebody else did or said. There’s something called selective mutism that is an anxiety disorder, check it out. I will usually write out how I’m feeling or what I’m upset about and then I can usually speak again. Hope this helps, it’s awful when this happens! 🤗

Thanks everyone for the replies , appreciate the responses, It really helps when we realize that we are not alone with these freaky symptons.
I also consulted with my therapist on the same and he said the same that Panic disorder , anxiety can manifest in many ways and inability to speak is becasue brain is working overtime to figure out what is happening and making sense of the symptons. So its normal
