Suggestions? I have had a moderate stutter since i can remember. I am in medical school rn and i am just so sick and tired of not only being anxious about any kind of communication with my peers or professors, but also the feelings of depression and inadequacy when i do slip up. I really would love to take everyone’s advice and just let the people i talk to know i may stutter, I just cant think of the right way. I don’t want to be looked down upon but I am also so beyond over feeling this way and carrying this constant weight on my shoulders. I just need to man up and figure it out before I let something so silly continue to ruin my life and happiness, but am having a hard time doing so. Tips?
