That is a terrible time in any stutterer's life. I know for me, it was a daily grind. Especially when I knew I "had" to speak. Whether it was school, employment, socializing, etc...it was taxing. You are just starting your life independent of others and want things to be "normal," including your ability to communicate. It is incredibly frustrating to get stuck on your words. I imagine you are like others and have trigger words, or situations where you just know you are going to get stutter? For me, it was doing simple things like saying hello on the telephone. I still hate talking on the telephone, but I learned new ways to engage with new words. And don't get me started when I was forced to read out loud in class. Ugh. Nevertheless, don't ignore your stutter. Instead, live with your stutter. It is super hard to get past that initial hurdle of acceptance. But when you do (and it comes with time), things do improve. I still stutter to this day. And it still pisses me off. But it is a part of who I am. Gradually, life's routines get easier and easier...including speaking. And while you will always know when you stutter, replace words, get stuck or feel awkward, many of the people around you won't even notice.
