Really insightful stuff. Thank you for posting. I think a lot of readers are going to immediately read the bit about Beta Blockers and start inquiring about taking various “cure pills”, which is alarming. I’ve seen it in other posts as well. Advice to take ADHD medication, to even taking B1… It’s important to note that pills/medicine should be taken in moderation. This isn’t even touching the addiction aspect of things - similar to marijuana and alcohol. The bit about not caring what others think really hit home for me. I’m about the same there, once I disregarded others thoughts, judgement, and that aspect of anxiety; my stutter disappeared about 95%. You’ll realize that the **only** person that cares more about your stutter, is yourself. Stop being so hard on yourself and start enjoying the only life you have.
