I have a block stutter and it’s really bad lately, I get rapid heartbeat and run out of breath all the time just talking, it’s exhausting really. I always love meeting someone who does it because it finally feels alright ya know, it’s rare though, I work at a big casino and I feel like out of the 3,000 people who work there I’m the only one who talks like this. Just wanna let you know you’re not alone and I totally get what you’re going through. As far as tips and tricks, saying a word that you don’t stutter on before the word that you do, putting an h sound in front of the word, think of anything else other than I’m gonna stutter when you start to talk. There’s also a really good book by Lee G Lovett called How to stop stuttering and love speaking, that’s actually quite insightful and has some good information when it comes to fluency. Hope your day goes better my friend
