Idk what to do….(any advice?) My stutter is ruining my life. I’m 24F I’ve had a stutter my whole life. It comes form of blocks. I stopped speech therapy at elementary school because the therapist said my stutter has went a way. From childhood and teenage years my stutter was non existent. And after college I think stress and anxiety has got to me adult idk. And my stutter came back and it’s severe it embarrassing. Sometimes I speak fluent as hell esp when I’m comfortable and not tensed. But I guess when I have social anxiety speak to new people and I’m stressed I stutter more. Or probably I don’t think that’s the case as I stutter with my mom and boyfriend too so idk 🤷🏽♀️ I just started a job as a teacher assistant and I stutter a lot with my coworkers. And I feel ashamed and guilt when this happens like I just want to disappear. And for some of them I feel like I make them uncomfortable when I do that. But obviously not intentionally. Idk I just hate people. This whole stutter thing is making me depressed and even more anxious and I’m not looking forward to things lately I tried antidepressants such as Effexor and Zoloft. Those just made me feel more anxious and sick. I want to try more natural products because I think my stutter stems from anxiety. Like I can’t keep on living like this? Does anyone here who stutters tries natural products to relax you and ease tension in speech?
