Feel like I’m getting worse. So I’ve done a few posts on here about my weird stutter. But I feel like if anything it’s getting worse. Whereas I could go for days before without stuttering now it happens a few times a day (Just to clarify. I’m aware that there are people with worse stutters than me but I’ve gone from having no stutter to stuttering every other conversation in the space of a year). At first I thought that it was a stress and anxiety thing and it would go as quickly as it came back. But I don’t see that happening any time soon. Like I say. If anything it’s getting worse. I’m starting to give up trying to speak in some situations because fighting it isn’t worth the effort just to make a half arsed joke or something. So I just say “doesn’t matter” to everyone and the conversation will continue without me saying what I want to say. It’s a little depressing. Anyone else the same? Has your stutter got worse?
