You know, after thinking about it harder, while I have no problem talking in person, I am terrified on the phone with strangers. I don't know why. Doesn't exactly classify me as SAD, but in that respect, I can understand not being able to articulate thoughts due to anxiety. I get anxious and I'm afraid I'll say something stupid. But it's only the phone. Hmm.
Like every other person has posted before, it's your anxiety causing you to clam up, and it's not your fault. I'm sure the right med will straighten that out, and perhaps some CBT.

> I like reading this, because this just confirms to me the difference between GAD and SAD. I have GAD, and I never have trouble finding something to say. I have more of a problem finding out when to shut up! LOL In fact, the more nervous I get, the more I talk. *sigh* I almost wish it was a social anxiety problem than generalized. Then I wouldn't look like such a moron LOL.
