Any help Hi, I’m new to the group and was looking for some advice. I suffer with speech blocks which are mainly situational and worsen depending on my perception of who I’m talking to. On my own I can speak perfectly fluently but if I’m talking to someone I subconsciously want to impress I’m more prone to blocking, regardless of this I can still mask my stutter in most social situations but masking it feels like living a half life. I’m curious to see if anyone has experience with any anxiety medications as I believe anxiety plays a gigantic role in my stuttering, in particular the anticipation of blocking. Thank you😄
