Only recently, after i had uncovered what i think the root cause of my stutter is* had it even crossed my mind. But yes, i wonder... i ponder... i dwell... i spiral (just a little). I mean, the stutter likely came from anxiety* and itself causes anxiety... a vicious cycle! Who would i have been without this freaking anxiety? Without the shame and embarrassment when youger? :( *diagnosed with Dyslexia last year (59m) and the peices fell right together. My stutter started in 3rd grade due to a mean and impatient teacher. I am convinced that my undiagnosed Dyslexia was impacting my reading, etc... and she had no skill, training, understanding or patience to handle my situation. :(
