muitsm
This is my mutism journey , i started having signs of selective mutism when i was 18 it took me about four years to get diangnosed.I got offered treatment but after a week they said wasnt cooperating or trying hard enough so they stopped it .
So how does it affect me ?
I get really panicky in soical situations crowed places group settings,around new people ,new environments and loud noises. Can sometimes go completely mute this happened the other day but never happened for about a year it shocked me didnt no why.
I just want to go back to the old me not had a verbal conversation with anyone in years it makes me really upset especially when i want to join in conversations or when need help.

Dear Georgia,
I can understand how difficult this must be for you. It sounds like you are dealing with a lot of anxiety and stress as a result of your selective mutism. Also, it was courageous of you to reach out here in the forum for support as well as to educate others of how it is like for you to have selective mutism.
You are doing the best you can, and that this is a journey that takes time and patience. It's okay to feel sad and upset about not being able to join in conversations or ask for help.
I wonder if you have considered reaching out to mental health professionals for support again. You said you tried once and it was not successful, but maybe if you find the right professional, they can help you develop coping strategies and provide a safe space for you to work through your feelings.
Georgia, you are not alone in this journey, and that there are people who care about you and want to support you. I'm glad you found some safe spaces to express yourself, through these forums, through Sharing Circles, and through some other spaces on 7 cups. I wish you well on your journey and thank you, again, for sharing your experiences and how you feel.
♡ Love and (^=˃ᆺ˂) Courage, 𓆸 Tas
