I absolutely HATE blocks. they're the worst thing when it comes to stuttering, imo. i can't say own name properly either, so i spell it out or write it. even if i hate blocks, they genuinely help me in reminding me to breathe. i get really embarrassed when i have to make an ugly face to really say a word, but i end up spelling it out nowadays. take a deep sigh then say the word or stretch the word out to really enunciate it, but if it doesn't help, then just spell it out or write it out.
