My stutter has gotten better! (update) So, I'm going to college this year (freshman) and my stutter has gotten better. I have been able to order at at restaurant or coffee shop with mostly little to no issues. Before, I used to ask my parents to order for me and help me. Now, I am able to hold a conversation better. Though I still need to work on relaxing and breathing. I can use the phone now and don't feel as scared to talk. Today I had to call my bank and did very well. Overall, I am very happy, but I still need to work on relaxing, avoiding caffeine, and breathing before I talk and slow down :)
