Tough Week

Tough Week Sometimes I just do not get stuttering. I've restarted therapy and have been going for the past month. I've been noticing some improvements until this last week. I don't know what happened but I just could not get a feel for my speech. It became unpredictable and I just was not able to use some the new techniques I was learning in therapy. This led to several embarrassing moments for me in conversation where I completely blocked in conversation and was not able to say simple things such as my own name. I just don't get stuttering and sometimes its easy for me just to feel hopeless. Hopefully this was just a tough week for me and I'll be able to improve soon. Sorry if this just another one of those "stuttering sucks" posts, but I just need to vent out my frustrations with people that can actually understand.
