Losing my voice.

In the shower.

I don't think that I'd ever forget my language. I might not be talking to other people, but I still have a dialogue in my head, and I still communicate online. I can see myself forgetting how to talk to people due to not socialising and then find it totally overwhelming to be with people, but I can't imagine forgetting my language. Also, brain fog, sometimes my mind goes blank or I'm unable to talk because of too much going on... that is something different.
 
I have worried that could happen to me. Though i have had no succes studying other languages. Is it due to my aspergers?

I don't think your disorder or disability has to do with learning a language, you can be successful in any language as long as you put effort into it, personally I thought I would never learn the other language I was learning because of how hard it was to recognize the alphabet and pronounce it, but it takes effort and time, also your motivation.

It is okay if you don't become fluent right away as it is not your main goal, you might need a year or two before you become good at a language, but you never stop learning still, you will maintain a lot of information in that language if you use it constantly and practice.

I like learning a language a lot, I think its better than learning to write code because your mostly just trying to get a good job, money, and just sell products or making projects on the internet, also its less motivating because computer code is a unnatural language compared to real languages.

You will have more experiences from people you didn't know in your own culture and you might make personal relationships with them and maybe even connect with your family if they speak a language and you learn it, so I think learning a language is still possible for you, that is just my two cents coming from someone who has constantly used the internet in another language and learning two languages.
 
So i have had a fear for years. That if i stopped talking. I would not be able to again. Im not someone who talks a lot anyway. But i feel like this coild really happen. Any advice?

Okay. That would explain a lot. Could you just have short daily conversations?
 
@Wolf Prince I felt sad reading this for some reason. l am not sure why it is depressing. Your abilty to speak keeps you safe, and your needs are heard. It makes me feel that somehow you were discounted at some point in your life, or ignored, or held down and you were made to feel absolutely powerless. Because you feel you may go back to that, but it won't happen. It will never happen. You have a voice, and we listen to you and support you.

What started it ?a phobia can start from you feeling fearful and whatever you heard or saw at the time associating it with that? keep talking to us so that it doesn’t fester .
 
Try drinking water more. I just recorded a video (about an hour and a half worth of footage), and now my water bottle is empty. However, my voice is not screwed.
