      I think it's more along the lines of "a person who's still got decades of life ahead of them, versus someone who's already lived most of their life unhindered" type deal than "lol, suck it old folks. Strokes are your thing."

    I feel for her. When she was asked about her friends and if they still talk you could tell she was upset. This can be one of the hardest things to deal with. When you are young and your health is diminished like this, you rely on friends and most of those people leave. It breaks my heart to see her or anyone have to deal with that. I hope for the best and that she makes a full recovery. She is very strong and is lucky to have loved ones to support her.

      Bless her. I know what it is, so frustrating every single day. I also have expressive aphasia. I couldn’t talk at first, only gibberish and gestures. People thought I was insane and put a sanitarium for two to three years til an amazing woman and gave me a chance. She’s a tutor and started two flash cards (red-no, green-yes). Obviously I easily pointed any sentences. Announces staff that I’m very sane 🙄 Everyone that has an aphasia knows what that is of hell, so frustrating and struggling a lot of stress. People are sooo rude and mean. Example when I went this store and of course having trouble with my words. This clerk said exactly, ‘’ what the hell are your freaking language are you??” As if I really need more stress already. People don’t care anymore. 😭

      That's what i've been occuring recently, it feels as if these vocabularies won't bear the capability to be derived in terms of a sound, the correct representation to express it is, it feels as if these "Words" are bouncing inside the mind of yours, as if you demand and intend to release them in terms of a sound, but they decline that demandment of yours, as if they're capable to obtain their own "Conccusious" as if it is alive.

Wernicke's Aphasia originates in Wernicke's area, which is the part of the brain primarily associated with language development. Broca's area is primarily speech, so that seems to be why she has no problem understanding the questions and writing the answers, but seems to struggle with relaying what she wants to say in speech

You can find Samantha's trouble in her comment. She certainly intended to write "I" (which is a functional word). However, the aphasia 'changed' it to "are" (which is also a functional word). Practically impossible is the processing of non-words (like "doime").

    I realize that this is 12 years on, and I truly hope Sarah is living a normal life these days. This just randomly popped into my recommended. My friend had a similar stroke and a subsequent coma in his early twenties in 1990. A month later he woke up and could only speak in gibberish. The speech therapist discovered that he could sing popular songs though. Apparently the area of the brain for singing is in a different place than speech. He learned to speak again by singing everything he had to say. Then his normal speech eventually followed.

      Incredible story. I used library books and practiced in the park. People thought I was crazy. But it really helped. I have a milder form of this same condition. 7 years ago I woke up in my pickup and couldn’t speak. I didn’t know what was going on and everything seemed washed out and light colored. According to records I was like that lost and away from family for a week. Things started looking familiar and I found my way home. I never left town apparently. When I got home still dazed I was told I no longer lived there. I couldn’t speak so they thought I was faking and crazy. I couldn’t fight it. I was already in a wheelchair as I have bad legs. I didn’t even know what was going on. It took 6 months to save the money to go see the doctor and I lived in a car in my wheelchair. I had only disability income so not enough for rent. They said it was TIA stroke and aphasia. He also said my family is worthless and to never trust them again. He advised I give up ideas of wanting them back. If they abandoned me at my most critical moment, and I was sick, they would do it again. It’s been 7 years. I have never tried to contact any of them. I can talk about as good as it’s going to get. I slip and slur but it is rarer now. I do still have moments like this woman does and it is frustrating to know what you want to say and something else comes out then you forget your point as you were so busy trying to say a thought a word or if lucky a few words together. It is easier to write. People who have never heard of this think I am either crazy or on drugs. I am still homeless in my car in the wheelchair for 7 years, but I can talk and write and I do better now. It took me a long time to write this and the editing before sending took a long time too. Writing is easier but I still mix the words up a lot. I’m ok so no worries. My family thought I was a burden and ignored me anyway so it is better I am doing things myself now. It just takes forever, lol. I can’t get my mouth to form the words all the time and it is sporadic and annoying for others. I am still fully in this body. It’s not like I lost any information. It’s just hard to get it out sometimes. I use a pen and paper everywhere just in case.

    It's almost looks like shes got a constant case of having it on the tip of her tongue. I imagine that the stream of consciousness is something like this "four legged thing, you ride it.... *writes it down*, horse". so she writes it down and then reads it because she knows how to read, thus bypassing the damaged part of her brain externally!? Fascinating! Not to make light of this girls plight, I'm just an amateur psychology nerd just reading about aphasia and I had to see it in action to understand it. Thanks for having the courage to put this up to enlighten the rest of us, because the more we learn the better we can come to understand ourselves and each other.

    I am so sorry this happened to you! My heart melts! My son just had a stroke from a carotid artery dissection September 12 , 2018 so a bit over a month ago. We are in the USA. It was the most scariest thing a parent can go thru. He has aphasia and like you in his right hand and part of arm has pins and needles and lost the sensation to feel hot and cold. His leg is fine and walking etc. They thought he was going to have the feeding tube and not being able to speak right away but his brain cleared after the procedure was done. And he could speak a little. He said to me his Mom I love you, I am sorry and Thank you! When I went and told the neurologist he was ecstatic and showed me the before and that day CAT scans and how much the brain had cleared. He also said that where Michael was right now is where he thought he be in 90 days. Of course Michael now does not realize his amazing recovery and of course it will take a long time but he is doing well. He is about where your daughter is in the video now. Even says some of the same things. He is not as good at sentences. And he switches words like he can say chocolate but means vanilla. Or she means he and visa versa. When you are around him a lot you can understand better what he is trying to get across. I can now say that I have the utmost empathy for anyone going thru this. It is a shock and life changer! Michael has a degree in chemical engineering and as you can imagine how frustrating this has been for him. Thank you for posting your daughter and her progress with having aphasia. It will give hope for many!

    I had a full stroke myself and it affected the speech in my brain and it is the exactly thing that I have got " expressive aphasia" and I know exactly how this girl feels . It is a nightmare when it first started and it was very hard for me to have a conversation with anyone but through years it slowly gets better. It will never get completely better and back to normal but and I still have problems with my speech at times but it is nothing as bad as at the start but you can hold a conversation with people now. It was 6 years ago when it happened . I feel for the girl cos I've been there In that position but it is good to see where someone has had the same position that I have had. Bless her xxx

    This really moved me to tears. I had aphasia after a traumatic brain injury after falling down stairs three years ago. But I was 56 years old! Not Sarah's age. I did recover mostly, but listening to Sarah is exactly what it felt like and sounded like for me. Speech therapy helped me so much. It really is about speech and expressing - thinking and listening are not part of the equation. God bless Sarah, and I hope she continues to improve over time!!

I'm 52, now, and I still haven't picked up my guitar in a while, because I can still play, I just don't play the same way. I don't have that expression anymore but I'll get it back 🙏 God is good I'll be praying for you Sarah be blessed😇
