As I was losing my stutter, I started having a different kind of anxiety. It was an identity crisis. I was used to anticipating my stutter, and I was 99% certain when I would start to stutter and employ a bullshit strategy to get over it. As my stutter was dissolving, I was out of sync with this feeling. While talking, I was often amazed at my fluent abilities, but then sometimes my lips or tongue would lock shut and because I couldn't anticipate it, I would stutter uncontrollable for a few seconds until I got back in sync with controlling it. Eventually the stutter completely dissolved and speaking is now effortless, but I did have an identity crisis for a while. I have a lot of empathy for suffering because I stuttered for so long, but it would be so much better if I never had it to start with. If someone has the ability to get rid of their stutter and chooses not to, they might have a fear of change or success.
