I would describe my stuttering as exhausting. Yes, i have learned a few techniques to keep myself from getting stuck or doing repetitions but i forget all those techniques once i need to have a conversation with someone. I lose my train of thought and feel really stupid because i can tell that people are not understanding what i am trying to say. I am very aware of my stuttering which makes it even worse. But lately i have been dealing with words that start with a hard consonant (p,g,d,k), i block in all of those. So i try my hardest to stretch them out without losing my speech rate. Then there are sometimes i cannot even get a sound out but it all depends on the person i am talking to.
