Will this get better? Hello, I 22M have always had a stutter since birth. It is usually better in social/group settings with my friends and at my internship and worse when I am at home (not sure why this is because I have a great home life). The last week I’ve been home on winter break and this has been the worst stuttering I’ve had in probably my entire life. I have barely been able to get a sentence out. My brother was in the hospital this week and he has CP so we were all worried so I’m attributing it to that but my stuttering has usually been pretty good so I am just very anxious this bad stage won’t go away. I’ve never had this bad of a stutter before and would love anyone’s advice on how to calm down a bit or strategies they use when going through a rough period.
