Hi there, I stutter as well. I found a lot of direction and confidence in finding a support group. Connecting with organizations like the National Stuttering Association (NSA) helped me realize I wasn't alone and gave me tools to advocate for myself. One thing that really helped was developing a disclosure statement—just a simple, honest way to let others know that I stutter. It reduced a lot of anxiety for me and helped manage listener reactions in a way that made conversations feel more comfortable. It’s amazing what a difference it can make when you feel prepared and supported. I'm sorry you are going through a tough time with your stuttering right now. It can be incredibly isolating. Rooting for you and your success.
