I need to ask this question. Will the SM get worse when a loved one passes away? Will the SM individual go into a deep dark hole?  Me? What I think is that and I know this is negative but I think that I will go back in that deep dark hole and become unable to speak to everyone and have Progressive Mutism. But I could be wrong though.  Let's better hope I could be wrong.  I am worrying about when mom and dad pass I will go into a deep dark hole that I could never get out of.  yeah, Jason mentioned it and it really got me to thinking.  :'(  What I want to know is that---does selective mutism get worse when a loved one passes away?  Like does the individual with selective mutism go backwards and stop talking to everyone?  What I want to say is that I do want to speak.  I wish people wouldn't put words in my mouth like some three year old!!!
