Im 20 years old, and i feel like i have PTSD-like symptoms because of my stutter. Everytime i speak its like im back in my 10 year old body, which was when I first became aware that I wasnt "normal" Everytime i speak i feel powerless, confused, and angry like i did as a child. I dont like using the word PTSD because i feel like its a loaded word for bigger issues, but the word "anxiety" doesnt seem to cover what im experiencing. My brain just shuts down everytime someone talks to me.
