CPT: Please stop doing this to yourself. It becomes an anxiety producing loop. It is not uncommon for someone to be less articulate or forget some words if they are anxious. The more you focus on this, the more you worry about it. Try to avoid making mountains out of mole hills. It will make your a happier person. Consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Not unsurprisingly : Agree with Dr Fowler. I too strongly recommend you tackle this with cognitive behavioral therapy. It can change your life
