[Part 1] My Life: My Life with Selective Mutism

Part 1 of my autobiography about my life with selective mutism. In this part, I talk about my childhood and growing up with selective mutism through school.

Whenever people ask me what SM is I stay this
Imagine one day you went to do something
You go to talk but you just can't
It's like that phrase zip it lock it put it in your pocket
But instead of having the key in YOUR pocket SOMEBODY else has it.
And they barricade you in for years until you finally decide to brave that person with the key and take it
But for some people that might never happen

Lucy Wilson I really like that analogy a lot! That's how exactly how it feels. There's that determination to, but it's sealed up.

Your SM isn't as severe as mine , not to compare but I had a hard time communicating with everyone outside my family and friends near home.
