Rough days For the past 2-3 weeks I've dealt with higher anxiety, so my stutter has been worse too. The reason is a class presentation, I'm in university, it's not like a full on or final grade presentation but still, it's in front of almost 40 people. The presentation is done in groups, I don't really know them, so everything was going to plan: we made our research, the power point, and we settled the topics on we were going to talk about; it was due for this past Friday, of course I felt overwhelmed as the days came closer to the date and I made up an excuse one day prior, I texted them "oh, I got sick, but here's my part, just read it out and you'll be fine", they were like oh okay, no problem. I felt relieved until later that day when I found out that the teacher didn't go to class and the presentation got postponed to today, my relief turned into anxiety again. I just continued my 'sick' narrative and sent my teacher an email explaining that I'm sick and bla bla bla, this happened like 3 hours ago lmao. I feel so bummed out about it, having to avoid almost all of my presentations since I can remember, I'm currently 26 y/o and started to stutter since I was like 7 or 8, but I just can't completely accept it (the stutter) and go on with my life not caring about what others think. Just wanted to dump my feelings. ps. English is my 2nd language so I may have some grammar mistakes.
