Anyone have trouble writing occasionally?

no.
i can write "occasionally" correctly every time i need to use the word.

I get that now and then with typing, but it's a constant with hand writing. I couldn't write much at all if it weren't for computers. Every once in a while though, I "disconnect" happens I have no control over, and I can't get the flow of words in my head connected to my fingers properly, and all that appears on the screen is gobbledegook.

Once in a great while, the words in my HEAD start doing that, and I can't even speak correctly. It's worse than being drunk!

Now this is funny. If you didn't intend it to be funny, I don't mean to laugh at you - this is my kind of wit.



I rarely use handwriting because writing by hand hurts, and writing a lot by hand makes my entire upper body hurt. So I guess I am in a similar boat although I do not know if for similar reasons. I do know I've also had issues trying to write by hand even beyond the pain at times, like the skill isn't there sometimes. But I never think much of it.

Every person who's been assigned to help me find a job (vocational rehab and regular job coach) think I should find things to buy for that money so that I don't have it (even if its buying it from my parents), and then get a lawyer and try to go through the process so that they'll actually take my medical information. So now I'm in the 'how am I spending that money' state. It was meant for a down payment on a house, so if we're sure where we're going to live do we go for a cheap house with my parents covering the morgage (that'd be less than rent) until I can or what.



When that happens to me its usually in the "I'm leaving somewhere that was overwhelming me but I had reasons I felt like I needed to push off the shutdown and once I've started walking home, I can't push it off anymore".



That also happens to me. Also headaches from the scents. My migraines are probably the most disabling thing for me despite being uncommon, because they're so easy to trigger. If there's a scent that will give someone a headache sometime, it probably gives me a headache and can give me migraines



Same here. It meant that I stopped stressing out so much when trying to force words and have been learning to communicate differently when I need to, even if I don't have a complete loss of speech.


On the loss of speech issue. One thing I've found odd is when I can only talk to specific people, not others (but not only in some environments and not others). I mean something like being in a coffee shop and not being able to order things myself because I only barely have speech, but can tell my boyfriend what I want.

like not being able to think up something to write about? I guess so. I put some incoherent stuff on the paper or internet sometimes. the degree of incoherence is indirectly proportional to the degree of my functioning. doesn't happen often though. I would say its not a complete shutdown but somewhere near there.

I have had that happen to me too.
