Can an anxiety attack make me develop something like a stutter? I've always struggled to speak rapidly or even normally sometimes but a month ago i had a really bad anxiety attack and since then I can't pronounce some words no matter how hard I tried, it doesn't happen constantly, it's random and i know anxiety can't give you a stutter so that's why i am asking what could it be? It's not that big of a problem cause i either simplify the phrase to "Dinner ready" rather than " come eat dinner is ready" or just change the word i can't pronounce.
