Blocking for almost 30 years Hi everyone. Most people don't know I stutter. I've been able to finish school and work full time without any major problems but that doesn't mean I'm not stressed out and frustrated every day of my life. I see opportunities that I cannot take and I see friendships that I cannot pursue due to my speech and my anxiety. Since most people don't know I stutter, I do my best to keep it covered up which in turn will increase my anxiety. Always scanning ahead of what I'm about to say, looking for potential trouble and trying to select a different world all while maintaining my current speech. It's exhausting. I'm looking for advice on how to reduce my blocking. I felt better when I was on anxiety meds but I'd rather treat the cause than try to mask a symptom.
