hi everybody
I have the same sensation like Mr.VoiceGuy,that i am crazy or that my dysphonia is a ''symptom'' of my anxiety and i need to know if somebody has similar symptoms.So here is my story :All started in July 2006(i was 24 years old).It was a regular day on my work and suddently i couldn't speak (i had a strangled voice).At first i was thinking that i have a laryngitis or a bad cold,but i noticed something very strange.My voice was ''strangled'' just at my work place.In the moment i get out of there every day when i finished the work,my voice get perfectly normal.So i had that bad voice just at my work.It went like this for about 4 months.In this time i was sure i am crazy,because i couldnĄt understand how can my voice be bad just at my work place.After 4 months,it worsed..i couldn't speak at the phone,in my house,at work (i had to leave my job) but it happend a strange thing my voice is almoust perfect every time i go out with my friends (they don't know that i have a voice problem) and every time when i get stressed worsened.When i am with my husband i speak better..but if i go to a doctor or to shop i speak very bad.There are suddent changes in my voice,and if i forget for a moment about my voice problem,my voice is perfect.That's why i think is related with stress or anxiety.I have anxiety from about five years and that year(2006) i had a lot of stress events,it was maybe the worst year in my life,could it be stress related voice problem?
I would appreciate some advices.
Thank you all,
