My blocks intensified A LOT Normally, my nightmare is plosive consonants like k, t and p though I also have difficulty in their voiced counterparts. However, in a week or so, the severity of my blocks has increased so much that I can't even pronounce soft sounds like n, m or l (lowercase L here) etc anymore. They just don't come out of my mouth. I feel like my speech function is completely gone. I block even in the middle of a word, which is a lot worse than in the beginning. I feel so helpless about that. God, please give me some advice; what would you do?
