stammer is getting worse and i don’t know why Hi! i’m just looking for some advice, i’ve stammered ever since i can recall i’ve had years of speech therapy and it really improved. i started stammering when i just started talking and i’m 20 now. And all of a sudden over the past few months it has become horrendous again to the point where i can’t get out a full sentence. They always say it’s stress or anxiety etc but i’m not stressed and i’m not anxious it feels like it’s come out of nowhere i can’t even say my name anymore 😕 and everyone’s commenting on how worse it’s becoming around me. Does anyone who also have a stammer feel like it just randomly gets worse for months at a time for seemingly no reason? or does there always have to be an underlying reason? x
