I never had issues with my stutter, for the past 10 years I have worked construction and maintenance jobs which I had zero issues with I love to work and be outside. Recently i have become a firefighter and I am starting to second guess myself for the first time in my life because the job involves speaking in critical situations and I just can’t get the words out it frustrates me and sucks because I can do everything else great except radio communication this is very embarrassing and difficult I have been on the job almost 2 years now and sometimes I do miss my old job because it had nothing to do with talking. Just carrying heavy shit and installing care free. Stuttering is definitely a struggle if your job requires communication like mine does. Also I believe do you the stress of having to speak and not really being able to efficiently I developed a stomach ulcer. I’m not a doctor or anything but the stomach pain and discomfort all started when I got to the firehouse.
