I'm looking for people's imput and experiences in order to understand my stutter better I'll lay out from the start that im turning 20 soon and I've had a stutter my whole life. The worst bit is the blocks you get and not the actual stutter. I get periods of fluency like the rest of ye and want to look at the way things are such as how I feel and how things are going in life during these periods that allow me to be fluent.I can't explain how grateful I'd be for your feedback. I've noticed when in general I'm "happy" with life and I'm confident the stutter isn't there. For example most recently I've started college, at the start the blocks were there as usual but as I slowly start making friends and get into more conversations I get a kind of momentum behind me and that carrys on until something happens that stops me in my tracks. I met with a girl from my class that I like and things went well but no fireworks, when I realised nothing would come of it I had the typical self doubting thoughts that must people would have. Since then I've been hit and miss with fluency unlike before when I was feeling good. I guess it's a chicken and the egg situation about what came first the good mood or the fluency. From my experience my confidence for lack of a better word has been good and is something that has to be slowly built up over time however when it takes a hit it drops and when it drops its hard to get it back. My question is have ye noticed in periods of fluency anything that ye could learn from in order to get into these periods more often? Thanks ❤️
