I'm tired My whole life I have tried my best to ignore my speech disfluency. I have tried to cover it up, I have tried to hide it. I have never succeed. I'm tired of being embarrassed at work or at home or with friends because I cant form sentences clearly. I have decided that it's time to suck it up and enroll in speech therapy. Has this helped anyone to stop? I'm worried that this will be with me the rest of my life. I'm on track to graduate with a bachelors in music education and will not be able to get a job with such a severe speech impediment. It took me a while to be able to say this, but I'm ready to do something about this. TL;DR: I'm tired of being embarrassed about my speech and want to fix it.
