You can't run away from something as important as work unless you're one of those fortunate enough to not need to worry about money. What you're experiencing is completely normal. I'm 30 & have s...

Literally came here to say this. I got a retail job in October and the difference between then and now is crazy. My chest used to get tight and I'd get really anxious and sweaty when I had to make a p...

Just keep pushing through and apply everywhere. People who don't stutter have as much anxiety as you if not more for other reasons. Just do it, you'll feel free and amazing, a different kind of high...
