I know this was 5 months ago so I'm late but oh well lol My stutter won't ever go, it's permanent. While no one else in my family stutters, mine is believed to be genetic. I started talking around 11 months and it has been present since. Before primary school I went to speech pathology for a long time, with some improvement in reducing it. Same in high school, more speech pathology but no improvement. I was bullied a lot because of it, which only made it worse. While anxiety isn't the cause, it makes it worse. Same with being excited, angry etc. All makes it worse. I am almost 27 now and it's still here. Some days I barely notice it, others I struggle to speak at all. It helped a lot in reducing it once I left high school and realised that there are very, very few adults that actually give a damn about it. Most of the time they just smile and nod or try to help. I haven't been bullied for it since. I struggle with vowels, W and S sounds the most. Sometimes I just trip over the start of the word, sometimes the entire word and repeat it and sometimes phrases too. The worst is the blocks, once they start I'm done. I cannot speak at all and the tics hurt. Now it's mostly a non issue, besides some days. Or if I talk to someone about it 😆
