Need some advice/trying to optimistic So tomorrow I have concert in Dublin with a friend of mine. I haven’t been to a concert in years cause of the pandemic and gotta say I’m shitting myself. I’ve never been able to say my name without stuttering and I’m so worried I’m gonna meet random people when I’m out someone will ask my name. I was up all last night crying and self harming going back over every memory where I stuttered badly or was picked on for it. I’m absolutely losing my shit over this, I’m so worried about asking for bus tickets, ordering food/drinks, being around lots of strangers and loud noises, waiting in the long queue outside. I’m also very worried im going to over do it with the drink. Last time I went to smaller gig a few months ago, I ended up throwing up on the street and passing out. I always drink way too much when I’m too aware of my stutter. Anyone have any kind words of advice for dealing with shame and embarrassment. I’ve been so miserable all day, I don’t even know how I’m gonna wake up tomorrow for this concert.
