commentr/StutterMarch 26, 2026

Content

I appreciate your comment. My anxiety stems from feeling as if I have some kind of neurological problem. It's not the stutter that bothers me really, but it's this feeling of where I feel my speech is effortful and unclear. Even seeing an slp a month ago and them saying I don't slur my words, I still personally feel when speaking that my speech sounds off and not as precise and clear as before and that is what fuels my health anxiety unfortunately. Moving from word to word, my tongue does not feel as strong enunciating those words clearly, even singing feels more effortful as well, all this despite having normal clinical exams by doctors. I'm just left in limbo disappointingly.
