Just sharing my frustration and asking for advice Hey, guys... I'm glad I found this community I stutter for as long as I remember. I'm female, 28yo, and I have a bad stutter. Well, sometimes nowadays it's not that bad, but in some situations it seems unbearable I managed to become a physician and my med school was hell, because my program had weekly oral group tests. It was horrible in many ways, and I had bad grades because I just couldn't speak, and when I did my teachers mistook my stutter for incompetence. What a bad time. I managed to get a little better with time and graduated. I have a normal life and I don't stutter when tending to my patients, curiously. When I applied to my residency I exclusively picked the ones that didn't require interview, because it's one of the situations in which I KNOW I'll stutter. I managed to get accepted in a service I wanted and I'm graduating next year in ophtalmology Now I have to do it again... I want to do a sub specialty and there are many interviews involved To day I had an online interview. It was so horrible I want to throw myself out of the window. I was very anxious and afraid to stutter, and that made the stutter worse and worse They asked about my damn thesis, I wrote the goddamn thing and I couldn't say what I wanted properly It's like my mind goes blank and nothing comes out of my mind I blew this up... And tomorrow there's another one and I don't feel good about this at all Any advice? I hate feeling incompetent because I just can't communicate I wish I could just write...
