Needing some comfort and advice Hello everyone i hope you are all doing well. It’s my birthday today and i’ve had a good ish day, my grandparents took me out for a meal today as it was my 21st birthday, i had a great time with them i just hate not being able to say everything i want to say to them, i can’t help but let my stutter hold me back and it frustrates me so much, nobody understands me when i try to explain about it being hard for me to speak to anyone. Close family tell me all the time they never notice that i even have a stutter but that’s not the point it’s hard for me to speak to anyone without stressing about stuttering and that’s what holds me back and i can’t seem to break past it. Does anyone have any tips i’m thinking about going to see a speech therapist. Thanks for listening and sorry for ranting i just needed to get this off my chest if i’m honest.
