1. It was most probably a trigger for me. We haven't been able to trace it for sure, but all circumstances indicate that it was a shock that I had suffered as a kid. It had paralysed me for a week or so, and after that, I'd started developing a stutter. 2. Words starting with H, P, R, C, K, B and sometimes A. 3. It gets worse when I'm nervous or am thinking too much about not stuttering. 4. Not something I can sum up in two lines. It has varied. I used to hate myself. I had shut down, stopped speaking until I realised I have to step up. I've started on a journey of acceptance. Now, I can say I am almost proud of my stutter. Yes, it is horrible sometimes, but I also appreciate I believe it because it makes me who I am.
