My current hardship as someone who stutters...

My current hardship as someone who stutters... Ive posted on here a bit before, and in different cases, there will be different obstacles id have to push through. This current obstacle though is completely draining me, and I cant figure out how to overcome it. Im finishing my associates degree in Medical Assisting (which is the internship part). For those who don't know what an MA does, they're the person that calls you back from the waiting room and asks you the routine questions and takes your vitals before you see the actual doctor. (Behind the scenes stuff too, obviously). Clearly, this type of career choice requires communication and competency in multiple aspects. All seems to be well, aside from one thing... Calling people back from the waiting room has been absolutely dreadful for me. I believe its a mix of anxiety and general speech blocks/stuttering, but its becoming my downfall very quickly. Im a quick learner, I can learn the routine, I can learn the scripts, I can learn the patients. But none of that matters if I can't accurately begin the visit with the patient by calling their name from the door. I get stuck on certain names, or I stutter on certain names and I feel like such an idiot. From then on, I feel like the Medical Assistant i'm shadowing, and the patient feel i'm incompetent, or so anxious that I cant function properly. Neither of these things are true. Its gotten to the point over the last two weeks that its genuinely put me into a depressive state, because what would normally be an obstacle to overcome, now seems like a steel fortress i'm supposed to break into. I know whats going to be said. "Don't care what others think". Yes. Absolutely yes. For anybody else, this is also the advice I would give. But heres the thing with that. It is so much easier to say than it is to do. Its a feeling of pure fear walking down the office hall to the waiting room door, anticipating my failure. No matter how many distractions I try, how many pep talks I give myself, it never works. The weight becomes so heavy on my chest that it feels like i'm suffocating, and then i'm at the door. And the second it opens, the name becomes trapped in my throat and all of a sudden I feel as though i'm standing on a stage in front of thousands of people. Im at a loss here. I can't figure out how to overcome this one, and if there is no overcoming it, I cant figure out how to get through these days without feeling completely hopeless until I become more comfortable. I know how much of an affect stuttering has on this community, and I know i'm not alone in my feelings, but sometimes I feel completely alienated, and it makes the feeling even worse. If anyone has any suggestions, or any similarities to my story, please share! Or if anyone is looking to have a peer to talk with, i'm all ears.
