Similar issue here- most of my stuttering was repetitive, but now, most of my life consists of blocks now. I was in CBT on Friday and I got so frustrated that I couldn't talk because of the blocks. I've talked about it more recently with this therapist than previous ones, and she asked how people in this subreddit handle their stutters (I mentioned joining this a while ago). I feel like a lot of people here are just learning to deal with it, but I feel so small when I go out and talk to people. A friend of mine is trying to convince me to go see an SLP. I don't want to go out of fear of feeling even more stupid, but I need to go. I can barely introduce myself, give basic info (DOB, phone number) over the phone or in person, and I feel like these blocks are ruining my life. I'm at the end of graduate school and finishing up writing my thesis, but the big part of finishing the degree is a public defense of your work. I've been borderline having panic attacks about trying to present my work and just getting blocks the whole time. The anxiety and depression are bad enough, but the stutter is the icing on the cake. 😞
