I would like to hear your insights Hello friends, I got three questions and I would like to consult with you. 1. My stutter started when I was 6 and stopped somewhere around the ages 7-8. Even after I always had lots of long "emmm" when I couldn't spit a word but it wasn't a "real" stutter. But when I was 16, at high school, it came back full time and was getting worse since (I'm 22 now). Had anyone else had the same thing? Stuttering as kid, then being quite "normal" for a long time and then suddenly it just falls on you again from the middle of nowhere. It seems so weird to me if to be honest. 2. I'm single for almost two years now and had no interactions with girls since my ex. A long time I talk about starting "game" and cold approaching. Does anyone here run game and cold approaching? Any tips and resources? Especially from the stuttering point of view. 3. For a long time I'm considering going to a therapy or trying anti-depressant since I heard it might help. Does a therapy worth the money and really helps? Does anti-depressant help and worth the side effects? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
