Why do I mix up words when I write?
Mixing up words is not an indication of a serious mental issue. Again, it’s just another symptom of anxiety and/or stress.

What is an example of thinking one word and typing an absolute different word?
These arn’t tiny things either. An example is that I was writing to a friend a serious message where every word mattered and I didn’t think anything of the message after it, except that I was nervous of the outcome. Well, it appeared that I inserted the word “christmas” instead of “halloween” as a time frame and that ruined the whole convo.
