Inconsistent stutter since grade 8 Hi there, this is a bit of a long read, but I appreciate any help! I (24, F) have a stutter that is very inconsistent and I'm not sure what to do about it. I have noticed that ever since I was in Grade 8, I have randomly been unable to say words during a conversation, and some of the things that I want to say don't want to come out. I will pause halfway through a sentence, struggling to get a word out, which results in me attempting to change the word or structure of the sentence so that I can complete it. I will also sometimes elongate sounds in a word while I try to get the whole word out. It is not always the same sounds or words that trigger this, and it happens so randomly throughout the day. I sometimes experience breaks where I do not stutter at all for days at a time, but then all of a sudden it will hit me again and it is a struggle to get through even a few sentences. I feel so stupid because of my stutter. I stutter in a wide variety of situations that are not always socially triggering. Sometimes I will randomly stutter around my husband, who is the person I am the most comfortable around in the world. In comparison, I can stutter around people that I have never met before, or people in my day job. It seems completely random, and as such I'm do not entirely believe it is triggered by social anxiety or intense social situations. I am currently enrolled in university to become a teacher and I really want to overcome this because during read-alouds I want to be able to successfully read for my students without stuttering. I have been choosing jobs and hobbies that encourage me to get out of my comfort zone and interact with people. I was a tour guide for a year and I really enjoyed it, but sometimes my stutter would flair up again and it would crush me.
