Hi,
It sounds like you have expressive aphasia. With expressive aphasia, a person knows what he or she wants to say yet has difficulty communicating it to others. Aphasia may be mild or severe. With mild aphasia, the person may be able to converse yet have trouble finding the right word or understanding complex conversations It is usually caused by a stroke or brain injury with damage to one or more parts of the brain that deal with language. Aphasia may also be caused by a brain tumor, brain infection, or dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. In some cases, aphasia is an episodic symptom of epilepsy or other neurological disorder.
I think a neurological evaluation is needed to determine the cause of your difficulty with communicating.
Thank you for your question.
