Responses like this is why I created this post in the first place, thank you for sharing homie. Man, there seems to be quite a bit of correlation between the inner workings of our body chemicals and the end result, almost like the ingredients, and how it's prepared, make food taste how it does. Confidence and anxiety surely have a role to play in how well I am able speak that day, but wouldn't confidence and anxiety be the end product of hormones and other chemicals? For example, I am confident because my testosterone is high or I am moody because my testosterone is low. Substitute testosterone for any of the other 50 hormones in the body, somehow these all dance together and the end result is how we *feel*, then how we feel dictates our actions, which in our case is stuttering. Put it another way, happiness is what you *feel* when that specific concoction of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and other endorphins are flowing through the body - no one is just "happy", there's a recipe behind it. Thanksgiving dinner doesn't just magically appear on the table, it's the combination of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, and even those ingredients are comprised of a hundred different variables. I've been the jacked dude on the beach crushing life, I've been the depressed video gamer who looks like a bag of shit, the stutter has always been present... those 10 weeks on TRT are the *only* time I've ever felt truly fluent. A urologist prescribed the TRT. He didn't want to prescribe TRT because my testosterone was already a standard deviation above average, but he did anyway.
