No problem, I'll list some things I've done over the years: I used to stutter when saying my name so I made sure I looked in the mirror when I was a kid and said my name, so many times and sometimes practiced before assembly in school so I could say my name as present. While my speech impediment was moderate as a child, it still got me ashamed sometimes when my peers would make fun of me for it but I ignored it most of the time since I could still speak alone and calm. I noticed as a kid if I let the air flow out before I spoke I could speak or when I take a deep breathe, this soon didn't work, fast forward to university, I had a stutter but it still wasn't that bad up until the point I was 24, it suddenly became extreme, big long blocks, huge repetitions and the worst part was that it was now automatic as though in my head I could no longer tell I could stutter on a word, this came and went but it got me really depressed for a while as phone calls became very difficult where unless the other person spoke, my speech was blocked. 2 years ago was the height of it all where I just stopped giving a fuck anymore, I just decided to live my life, make calls, sing songs and learn new things, then I came across an article about how singing repairs the brain's speech center and just decided to sing as many songs, read as many books and write as many things I wanted to while trying out as many mental stimulating things I could, I noticed I was happier, less bothered by my own stuttering and that prompted me to solve my hair loss so I got on finasteride and 4 months later my crown that was up to the middle of my head is now front and center thankfully, I still get blocks, but not huge ones, at most a second or 2 but my head feels clearer, full sentences I formerly could not say I often do now most of the time which is wild to me as even when my stuttering was 'mild' full sentences would have a word with its vowel or two end up in repetitions or long pauses.
