If I think about what’s impacted my confidence, probably getting my job. 11 months, 1500 applications, 2 rescinded offers. That murdered me. What am I doing to fix my confidence? Nothing. I’m working and building experience and sure it might solve itself in its own time when I get to where I want to get to. Or I can go get my masters…. That’s something to really really think about now more than ever because if that’s where this all comes from, that’s about the most direct way I could think to approach that. What am I doing for stress relief? Nothing lol. Even though I know being generally less stressed will decrease my stutter at least a little bit even if not fixing entirely it in this moment of extreme stuttering.
