Cant stop crying please help I can't stop crying, and this goes beyond stuttering. I work as a waitress and I have to say that at work I barely stutter. I can do my job and understand my colleagues perfectly. The problem? Well, formally, I can talk to them, but I find myself incapable of becoming close to them because my mind seems to subconsciously prevent me from stuttering, and that's how I see myself incapable. Ugh. I hate it because I know I'm capable. But the worst thing is that I thought that was my only problem, but when I'm under pressure, it's like the slightest mistake makes me feel really guilty, and I have the feeling that I've been creating a trauma for years that goes beyond stuttering, habits that are hell. I don't know how I'm going to get out of this feeling, really. Let me clarify, I'm 18 years old and this is my first job. I feel compelled to do this, but I don't know if I've done the right thing. Maybe I'm just overloading myself, but I have to go out into the world, otherwise, how am I going to overcome it?
