"Anyone else find their mind go blank sometimes and not knowing what to say? Is there anything that i can do to improve on this." I experience something similar. For example, in my experience, "my mind goes blank because I choose compulsion (tensing speech muscles and inability to move articulators when speaking)" \[condition to salf-sabotage\]. This condition has the goal to discipline myself to stop choosing for compulsion, in a failed attempt. Can you relate? I don't know what I personally can do about 'going blank', other than 1. not choosing compulsion or 2. changing condition.
