Started stuttering recently, unsure about everything tbh

Started stuttering recently, unsure about everything tbh Firstly, hello, I'm new around these parts. Around January I caught COVID19. Few days with an awful fever, had me asleep for most of those early days. After that it was just confusion, fuzziness, coughing.. the usual COVID19 package. I'm not sure if the fever gave me it or it's of psychological causes (my dad stutters, could have passed down to me but I've never stuttered before, not even when nervous) but I started stuttering after that, and it was a lot. I'd try to say a short word and it would drag on for several seconds. Mostly repetition of the same first letters, first syllables, or it just doesn't get out of my throat at all. It kinda feels like, if speaking is made up of *1.Thinking of something, 2. Forming a sentence, 3. Willing it to come out your mouth, and 4. You said something,* that words got stuck just before step 4 and it's just partially leaking out or not getting through at all. I have read an article about neurological effects post-COVID19, and they mentioned stuttering. Didn't find much more though. Idk if it was nerves that started it because I remember being completely unfazed. Didn't even think about it. That was probably partially because my mind was very blank at that time. I stuttered slightly less in the months since, but I still have it. I think it's worsened by stress or trying to speak fast, though even I'm not completely sure what's going on in my head. I could be seemingly perfectly calm and yet still stutter on a sentence, but it's pretty much hit-or-miss as to whether I will or not. I guess every 2nd sentence has a little extra content to it, more-so if it has longer words, and every 10th I need to give up on a word and rewrite my sentence because I'm stuck on it. I speak very little (and when I do, it's short) so it hasn't been affecting me much thus far, though it's irritating to communicate. Sometimes it feels like if I pay attention to it, it's worse?? Or that's because I'm rushing. Then again, I'll be saying something and not even thinking about it and then I stutter. I'm late-teens if that's relevant. Got a thing about knocking on my head 27 times before bed so that I don't get murdered in my sleep (and other such worries, I think it started at 16y.o.), but haven't spoken to a doctor about that business yet. Mental health issues run in the family too. Not sure if those all play a factor in my stuttering. I haven't spoken to anyone outside of friends and family about it. I don't really have any specific questions, I just wanted to talk about this and maybe know why I'm stuttering. I'm also interested if any of you started stuttering in a similar situation. Also not sure if I said anything insensitive to those of you that struggle more with a stutter, so I'm sorry that I did.
