Margie & Dick--I think Peter would say he had experiences"all of the above" in your post about mental freezing. Conversations are painfully slow at times, especially when dealing with hard subjects(stress). This is one reason he ( and others) has withdrawn from much social contact--it's too embarrassing. I often think he has fallen asleep while waiting for an answer or for the next in a series of thoughts....
