Help? On and off "stutter" Since I was 4 or 5 years old I had a stutter. I had I it for about a month and it went away. I thought that was the end of it. When I was 12/13 I got the stutter again, this was the the time I started secondary school and it was really bad. I didnt talk in class and didn't have any friends becuase I would fear I would stutter, I got bullied for it alot. The next year when I was 14 my stutter disappeared, I was over the moon and soon thought that was the end of it once again, it was maybe just anxiety. Ever since that point I have gained an on off stutter, I don't stutter as such but for a few months a year I'm fine and for a few months I use alot of "umm" words and it takes me along time to finish a sentence. I cant get the words from my brain out of my mouth no matter how hard I try so I use fillers or change the word. The rest of the month I still struggle and can't order food without panicking and making a fool out of myself unless it's a good month. I just wondered if anyone else had something like this and if its a stutter or an anxiety related issue. What can I do to help improve my fluency? Thanks
