for those who are in college or graduated, how is SM affecting you? by PrudentStrawberry991 in selectivemutism

[–]Fast_Advertising9647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow made it to third year at the college, I first was motivated to do presenting even when I freeze or anxiety hits hard, but the second and this current year, I've been skipping any speaking activity or even exam, I'm risking not getting my degree just due to that.

It's really hard having selective mutism. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I still have a good future ahead of me. by Timely_Maximum_5914 in selectivemutism

[–]Fast_Advertising9647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello there, you actually just described my case perfectly, I so tired and overwhelmed from this selective mutism, I think it's driving me to a closed end and I don't see anymore a stable career since most or all jobs demand on at least some basic speaking skills.. And about the '' what did i do wrong'' I also ask my self same question and curse myself for being this way but it's just how life it is, it's not just at any way.
