Small victories Today I had to go to a doctors appointment alone. I usually get a lot of anxiety doing this but before I went in I told myself seriously jordan, this shit doesn’t matter. Stop taking life so seriously. Who cares if you stutter. Does it really matter in the big picture? And I went in and told them my name and that I had an appointment at 4:30. I didn’t stutter. Then I had a full on conversation with my doctor without stuttering and without it being extremely awkward. I was really proud of myself after wards. I usually don’t keep the small talk going And try to say the least amount possible so I don’t stutter but today it wasn’t a problem. Maybe this new mindset of mine is gonna be my savior. It made me feel really good.
