Psychogenic stuttering flared up My stuttering seems tied to stress and activities that carry a heavy cognitive load. I probably have a learning disorder, so it happens that my brain gets overworked with academics. In these times, I have trouble retrieving words and ordering sentences, which stresses me out. Then the stutter pops out. It's a snowball effect. I usually don't stutter a lot unless I'm going through some difficult times (couple that with academics or a lot of social activities and it will happen). So, it's back. Normally try to fight it, avoid it, or try to stop speaking and restart. I just don't give a fuck right now. I'm too wrung out to deal with shame and fight it. I just owned it. I let a prolongation go onnnnn and onnnn and some repetitions just kept rolling on a over the length of good half sentence of speaking. I didn't even acknowledge it happening the other person didn't either. Honestly, it felt good to just let it happen and not care. I think that prevented it from continuing over the next few sentences. So, fuck stuttering. I don't care if you're back. I'm grateful this is psychogenic.
