A lot of people out there openly stutter and its just a part of their character. I used to openly stutter before I was 17, and everything seemed fine. But after 17, I became self conscious of stuttering and its become a major hindrance. I just want to revert to that state, where I could have conversations even with stuttering. Oh about the medication....I'm not that keen on taking any meds for anxiety or mental health. I know its helpful but the mere thought of having a substance inside me that controls my brain itself gives me anxiety.
