I'm sorry you went through this shit too. It's really hard to deal with such setback. It'll take a bit longer than a week bc I overthink a lot but I'm gonna be better. Thank you for the advice...

That’s crazy. I’ve learned that being aware of what You can tolerate speech wise can really help. It’s crazy because you know this could happen but still pursue something (like thesis work) that coul...

So you don't stutter at all? You just think about it?...
