Verbal shutdowns are the WORST. I'm with my little brothers rn and they're trying to talk to me. They can't read yet so I can't just write, "I can't talk" or anything so like. Idk how to communicate that I can't speak rn 😭

@SleepyCatten Also, the #VerbalShutdowns coinciding with #Migraines tracks with my experience too, but then, any kind of significant pain can throw my verbal faculties into a tailspin. And yeah, definitely can relate to the pushing-too-hard thing; I've had to carefully schedule my work so as not to do that--especially since my work is language instruction nowadays. LOL
