Can I ask you a question? How severe was your stutter? I have always had a mild/mild stutter and somehow managed to talk my way out of it and use certain avoidance techniques. Since 2020 (lockdown), my stutter has gotten worse and I cannot hide my stutter anymore. I even feel extreme anxiety when I have to talk to the mailman, whereas I didn't have this before. I am convinced that I can go back to before 2020, but sometimes I am afraid that my stutter will remain as it is now. I used to attend therapy but that made my stutter worse.
