That's insane. Yeah, I stutter... but I've had almost a lifetime to deal with it. I think your situation is in some ways worse. But I do remember life before stuttering. All those issues you've list...

Who else hasn't stuttered for most of their life?

Who else hasn't stuttered for most of their life? Because of issues that I would rather not discuss, I developed a stutter (non-existent to extremely severe depending on the situation) around two year...

How do I deal with the fear of not being able to get a word out at all?

How do I deal with the fear of not being able to get a word out at all? I've been a covert stutterer for as long as I've stuttered (around 2 years). However, I've been trying to desensitize myself to ...
