Hey guys need some help or feedback for my upcoming wedding Soo as the tittle says, I’m getting married this 20th of November and I’m terrified. I have stuttered as I can recall in my earliest memories, maybe since I was around 5 and it has affected my life in si many ways. Apart from my very bad stutter y also have very bad anxiety and sometimes even get panic attacks so yea. My main problem in my wedding that is that me being Catholic, I have to say a few sentences in front of around 30 people and it’s just killing me thinking about people laughing and mocking me. To this day I think I suffer from a little trauma from school when they made me read out loud or presentations. Like I have nightmares about those days and teachers calling me stupid and mocking me. It’s weird because I heard that stuttering may be from genetics but nobody in my family that I know stutters. I did lose my dad to a kidnapping accident when I was 1 but I think I was to young to even process what happened Any suggestions would be very helpful and thank you guys for reading this . Ps. English is my second language, so I’m sorry for any misspelling
