Anxiety and stuttering My boyfriend brought up to me today that he noticed I’ve been stuttering more than I usually do. He asked what was wrong because he knows that when I’m stressed or anxious I stutter a lot more. I didn’t notice it until he brought it up but I do recall having trouble with it recently than I did a few weeks ago. I stutter a whole lot and can’t wrap my head around why some days it gets really bad than others. I’ve tried speech therapy, I’ve tried my exercises, everything under the sun and nothing helps.
