vent(?) i’ve always had a bit of a stutter, it wasn’t exactly bad but i would have moments where i would be talking with my family and i would pause to make myself myself not stutter and they would think i was done talking, that was kinda it. but a few or a couple months ago (i can’t exactly remember) my stuttering has been bad. i get moments where i can barely say a word, like saying “i-i-i-i”, and other things. it’s so hard for me to finish sentences because my stuttering just gets in the way. i do a thing where i try to help it by closing my eyes and tapping my hand somewhere while i say the sentence/word. when the stuttering first got bad i started telling my parents that when i pause it’s not because i’m not done talking, it’s cause i’m trying not to stutter and they said ok, but when i talk to my dad he finishes the sentence for me or doesn’t let me speak. i’m so tired. it’s also the same for my teacher. sometimes i just give up. my dad told my it could be from stress or my meds or my epilepsy or everything. it’s just annoying
