@cassolotl@queer.party with me the non-verbal is always a prelude for going catatonic if I don't get some diazepam in me so I'm assuming they're linked in me
and the "switch to a second language I don't know well" is just bizzare but it seems to work for me, idle speculation is that my brain stores languages I'm not good at in a different place than speaking my native language but 🤷
brains be weird
