Progressively worsening stutter When I was a kid, my stutter never really bothered me. Even now I've had it for much too long to be embarassed about it. I've accepted that I'll always have it and that's that. Maybe it's highschool that has made me so unbelievably anxious about my stutter. I will fret and worry for DAYS about having to say my name to someone. I never used to worry about things like that. I always used to be able to say my name fluently, and now I can rarely ever say it right. In my french class for example, my french teacher has a habit of randomly picking on kids to call out answers. Since it's in french and there's only one right answer, I can't use techniques like using synonyms to not sutter the answer. I absolutely dread french class, even though I love the language. It's interfering with my studies as I will literally won't do homework in order to not have to call out answers the next day. (I know I should just to the homework and deal with it, but it gives me so much anxiety I feel like I'm gonna pass out) I truly don't know why all of a sudden I feel so anxious. I've never felt anything similar to this in my life before, on this level anyway. Because of all this my stutter has gotten awful too, just as soon as I noticed progress beginning to be made.
