I don’t have any helpful advice but I’m sorry you are struggling. I totally relate. I looked through your past posts and see how much you have progressed and not let your stutter hold you back in your career goals and that in itself gives me hope as a 22 year old girl who is too afraid to go for what she wants because of the stuttering. You will get through the rough patches just as you’ve done in the past! I work retail and recently I have been having a hard time telling people their totals, I’m totally fine with everything else but this randomly started having problems with saying numbers. No amount of stress and anxiety has helped remedy it but I have started to accept it for what it is and expect to stutter and not beat myself up for it. Some days are harder than others when you just want to be respected and I can’t imagine that pressure in the medical field. But you are doing great whether you think you are or not! Good luck
