I can't shake the feeling that there is a way to get rid of my stutter. I believe my stutter is a confidence issue but that also doesn't exactly make much sense, as even in tense situations, I can speak clearly (at times) and stutter when calm. I do notice that I've never stuttered when talking to myself, by myself, or at least I haven't noticed it. I also had panic attacks when I was younger and these paroxysmal non-epileptic seizures that people believed were caused by stress but I don't exactly believe that either as it doesn't make sense to me and I haven't had them in around 5 years but I still have my stutter. Then, I keep hearing of this brain implants that supposedly have and do help people with different neurological issues.
