When you can't hide it anymorr The last few months I've been at my worse mentally and physically, my anxiety is through the roof along the rest. But suddenly this week most of my issues were resolved, so all my school related anxiety suddenly dropped and I guess my mask too? I still have the regular rest of my anxiety and stuff, and suddenly I'm unable to hide it anymore, I'm a level 99 covert so suddenly I find myself stuttering in front of everyone. Right now it's still passable as lack of sleep/weed/ADHD but I know from experience that this is only the beginning. I forgot how to cope with a constant stutter since I found ways to manage it so it doesn't show too much (at the expense of my energy and not saying much) but now all of my tricks stopped working when all my nerves snapped ... How do you deal with sudden increase in dysfluency ? A lot of people around me don't really know it, most people know I speak weird but no specific..now i'm under the spotlight and right now I'm not seeing anyone until it gets better but it won't get better soon But I can't stay home forever because I can't cope with my stutter ! How do you guys cope ?
