When I was younger I had repetitions, but now I mainly block! 😐...

Blocks are the worst. They almost physically hurt bc A. I am literally holding my breath trying to get the word out and B. They make you anxious so your body gets all tense....

“Yes so the way medical records work is......Um....*long pause*....uh....*making weird sounds trying to find a replacement word*....they work like this” Or “Dddd *holds the eww sound for a sec* do...

I mostly block too. On bad days, it's a long pause before every word and it takes me an uncomfortable amount of time to get words out. On good days, no one would know I stutter. It's totally random an...

For some reason my stutter is worst over the phone, bad over zoom and normal in person....

It happens to me too. What a psychotic dilemma. Its weird. When I m alone, I am the best fluent speaker without audience....
