Sudden development of a stutter? I’m 18F and in the last 8 or so months I’ve begun to struggle with stuttering—especially with drawing out sounds (sssssss-sandwich) and repeating the beginning of a word over and over (wa-wa-wa water). I usually need to stop talking completely and restart to say what I need to. I’ve had no history with stuttering in the past and I have no idea where it has come from. I’ve not experienced an injury, excessive stress or tiredness, a traumatic event or any other reason Google gives for suddenly gaining a stutter in adulthood. It is not a constant experience for me, maybe one bad ‘episode’ a week and some small disruptions sprinkled in between? Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any advice about how to help it. People have started to notice and tease me about it
