i have indeed lost my ability to speak during stress. specifically, when i am MAD.
also, i've ranged from babbling to full-blown ranting when i have to talk to someone when i'm under stress. |

no doubt i'll get flamed to hell and back again for telling you that THC is a lovely way to self-medicate.

| we're the strange neighbors. we don't socialize or come out of the house except to go somewhere. when we are cornered by a neighbor, we kinda bounce around laughing nervously, not making eye-contect. we like our weeds instead of grass. they are prettier, and some make little flowers. :wink: |
