I went to a speech therapist and found that I rarely stuttered while I was there, do you have any triggers for your stutter or is it constant? I have triggers with pressure and fear/anxiety. I run 2 businesses which are fairly successful and it requires a lot of communication, one of which is a removals and storage business (main one) when i take a call I will slightly stutter, one of my triggers is when someone asks for my name, It's awful and I will never be able to say it. It takes me ages or ill just call myself something else. On the other side, if I have to make a call I'm a complete mess and I have to have someone to make most of my calls. Do I let it completly stop me? No I don't, I still make calls and do my best and explain to people inhabe a stutter, has it hindered me, of course it has, but a few years ago I just gave up caring about what other people think about my stutter, since then it has been more manageable and now I know my triggers I can try to avoid and build upon them rather then ignore them and let it get worse. Help is out there and people are more understanding face to face then over the phone, so start trying to talk face to face and build upon it. Figure out your triggers and realise its probably not as bad as you think it is and don't take it personally if someone tries to help by finishing your sentence, let them if it helps, if it doesn't let them know. Chin up and stay proud of who you are, the stutter has made me who I am and I fully accept it will probably affect me for a long time but hey, it's who I am and made me what I am.
