For a moment there, I thought I was the one who wrote this post. That has been my life the past 2yrs. Before I was kinda fluent, I could talk for hours on the phone, order food etc but since 2023, I don't know what happened, my stuttering became so bad. I can barely say my name, take calls, order food or order a cab because I'll stutter so much saying my address. I have never felt so miserable and frustrated like I am right now. Life seem to have lost meaning and the worst part is that I genuinely love talking, am an extrovert. I tell myself okay today I won't talk to anyone, but my personality ends up winning and I end up talking to people despite knowing I'll stutter so badly. Sometimes I just feel like giving up, ending it all because I have nothing going on for myself anyways. Fluent people or people with mild stutter always think I'm overreacting but they've no idea how it feels for your jaw to freeze when saying your name or just a simple hello
