Before the first time I was really upset with myself because I thought I'd worried my mom, and well, when I feel guilt I tend to think bad things about myself or do bad things to myself, but I was trying to keep face in front of my friend. I started to stutter in front of my friend and mom when me and my friend came home finally. The second time (which is more severe and still hasn't ended) started after my friend mentioned that I was distressed the evening before and I kind of panicked, because I thought that I kept it hidden well enough and that she didn't notice. It got more and more severe the closer I got to home (where my parents are).
