spasdysian - Yes, I do exhibit the same symptoms when talking to family and close friends. As my SD was developing and I was trying to understand what was going on, I would be having a conversation with my mom or sister and my voice would be srangled or choppy and I'd be having a difficult time in general, but I would keep insisting to them, "I am NOT nervous right now. I don't know why my voice does this." It's a tremendous relief to now know what is going on.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I have a number of different types of voice days. There are days where my voice is very near perfect (this only happens maybe once a month...more like once every two months). On those days, you just can't shut me up. I want to go out, talk to everyone, talk on the phone...you name it.
Next, I have days where I can work my voice into having a sort of scratchy, laryngitis type quality (maybe two days per week). I'm not sure what triggers this, if it something that I'm doing or if it is something out of my control, but these days are pretty good for me, too. I have very little trouble carrying on cnoversations and don't get stuck or strangled too often. EVERYONE asks, "are you sick? You don't sound good." But I don't care if I don't sound good. Words are coming out of my mouth mostly under my total control...hellyeah.
Of course, the rest of my days are usually my quiet days where I just don't want to talk much to anyone because I have very little control over my voice. I'm hoping to experiment a bit to see if I can't up the number of laryngitis-type days.
I don't know if I came off sounding depressed in my first post, but I'm not and I didn't mean to. I actually have a pretty good relationship with SD especially since I discovered that it's not my fault. Through some sort of jedi mind tricks that I'm able to play on myself, even my really bad voice days are usually still overall pretty good days.
