My stutter is gradually getting worse I'd usually go through these periods where my stutter gets real bad and then goes back to normal or almost fluent and recently my stutter has just been getting worse. Whether im in work, with friends or family. I could be comfortable and relaxed and still stutter bad and I'm stuttering on more words I don't usually stutter on and experiencing more blocks which I don't really experience. I'm also getting longer repetitions and it's just harder to say anything in general. The increase in stuttering has also lead to my voice cracking more and also more tension in my chest. None of my usual techniques are working or working as well and it's causing me more stress. I'm struggling with my work more than usual because of this
