That feeling of adrenaline after a presentation is amazing!

That feeling of adrenaline after a presentation is amazing! So I just gave this 5 minute technical presentation for my undergrad engineering course that I've been dreading really badly for a couple weeks now. It's a communication class so these formal presentations were like our "midterms" before spring break. Anyway, I was panicking and literally shaking when I walked up to the podiun (y'all should know, timed presentations are a stutter's worst enemy). I get through the presentation, starting-and-stopping every 10 words but not blocking as badly as I thought I would. It definitely wasn't smooth at all, but I was gaining momentum by the end of the PowerPoint. I finish and my professor (who is still slowly catching on that I have a speech impediment) gives me a huge round of applause along with the rest of the class, who were super supportive while I was stuttering. And it just feels so damn good! Like some kind of adrenaline high from knowing that this thing I was dreading is finally over and from how supportive my classmates and professor were. It's just the ultimate release, like this is what I imagine heroin feels like to a regular person. I haven't told anyone I stutter (nobody's really asked) so some of the people might think i'm slow in the head or something, but the support was really nice anyway. I'm just really glad it's over and I can finally look forward to Spring Break :-) until next time - our final is 15 minutes of presenting!
