I have a class presentation Tuesday and I’m sitting my self :| Ok sooooo I’m fluent like 90% of the time right but when I’m nervous, stressed or when things in my life change I stutter. So I just finished my dule enrollment at a local community college (important info) and I’m on summer brake from that but I also go to an art school that doesn’t finish till the 31st. So I just went thru a big change in schedule with the end of my academic classes and I have a portfolio review coming up on the 21st for art collage and I have like 12 assignments due on the 20th for another thing. All of this stress and I have to finish making a slideshow and present it front of my whole class on Thursday and I know I’m gonna stutter and I know it going to supper embarrassed and I’m like so stressed and have been stuttering and I just know it’s going to suck. Ok so that was a big ass rant sorry just have a lot going on and this is really stressing me out TLDR: I’m supper stressed and have to get up and present a slideshow front of my class and I’m stressed that I’m going to stutter. Edit: thought I should add this I don’t have a stutter from like talking to fast or cuz I’m nervous it showed up after a semi-traumatic (mental) event in the 8th grade (11th grade now) and now shows up way less then when I was younger but yeah backstory.
