idk si wa mutismo selectivo o no nunca me dieron un diagnóstico ni siquiera se sugirió hacerse la prueba para él parcialmente bci no creo que la gente entendía lo grave y debilitante que wabut yo solía tener ansiedad severa alrededor de ciertas personas principalmente profesor o tema hablando de mí o pidiendo ayuda eran grandes uno para mí hasta el punto en que literalmente no podía hablar como la gente no parece realmente conseguir cuando digo esto porque es una cosa ser tímido o nervioso hablar por mí sé cómo se siente como si simplemente estoy nervioso me siento muy incómodo esto no era que al hablar de cierto tema o hablar con ciertas personas me gustaría tener este síntoma físico muy incómodo y a veces muy doloroso donde no sé cómo más describirlo de otra manera que se sentía como alguien va pisando mi garganta como mi garganta wa cerrado apretado me pareció difícil respirar no en una forma hiperventilante más como en un i m ahogarse justo ahora por favor me ayudaría a empezar a hiperventilar si me forzó a hablar por cualquier razón tratando de forzarme a hablar me haría perder aire mareado
