Please help My stutter is becoming so bad. I stuttered back when i was in 3rd grade but i cured it and now i’m 15 and it’s been back for a few years. It’s getting si bad to the point where i can’t talk in class. I just stutter so much and it’s so utterly embarrassing and disheartening. I used to be so sociable and now I try to avoid talking a lot. I just can’t get words out. I have blocks and I stammer. Speech therapy isn’t seeming to work. It’s seriously affecting my social life and my academics, as I never ask questions or bring up points about my grade, or ask for help, etc. Whenever I have to present it always ends up being a shitshow and it’s so embarrassing. I’m pretty smart, talented, and funny, and this stutter is holding me back from so many things. I would be so much more outgoing like I used to be if I could actually talk. And when I’m alone practicing speech I’m extremely fluent. I’m talking no stutters whatsoever. But when I’m with friends I just can’t seem to do it. Whenever I’ve tried to talk to my teachers I just manage to get out never mind and walk away, dropping whatever it is I wanted to say. Does anybody have any tips at all to combat at this? It’s driving me insane, and causing a serious deterioration in my mental health.
