New Speech Problem

New Speech Problem I’m 20 years old, I’ve never had an issue with speech until about 6 months ago. I believe that it is more than just speech. Sometimes when I’m speaking out loud to someone I don’t remember or I can’t think of a word to express what I’m trying to say so there is a long pause where I have to think of what to say to get my point across. Also I’ll butcher words, even easy one/two syllable words. This started about 6 months ago, it’s not really a huge issue yet but it’s making me self-conscious and confused. I want to become a lawyer and I need to be able to articulate accurately. Any suggestions or insight?
