Stuttering through a Presentation

Stuttering through a Presentation I just needed a place to vent to people who can understand me. Just gave one of the worst presentations of my life, stuttering wise. I just never seemed to get a feel for talking during the presentation at all. I mean I was stuttering on close to every other word and I hated every minute of it. I dont know what to do anymore. I've been taking therapy that seems to help me in waves. But in that high pressure situation, I don't know what it is, but everything just goes to shit. And this post-presentation feeling is awful. I just cant help shake the feeling that stuttering will always win. How do you guys cope with your low moments of stuttering?
