School starting So, im starting in a new school in 8 days, I’ve been fearing this moment for years because of my stutter, introducing my self is specifically something I’ve always struggled with because of how much anxiety it builds up, it just leads to that when it’s my turn to introduce myself I get stuck and can’t even open my mouth or get a word out, it’s horrible. Over the past few months I’ve been trying all types of techniques to help my stutter and anxiety(my stutter is very triggered by anxiety), but nothing is helping, over the past few weeks I’ve had multiple breakdowns and panic attacks, and quite literally NOTHING feels fun or enjoyable because all I think about it the first day of school, I’m more desperate than ever for help even tho I know only I can make a difference, but if anyone has any tips, I mean ANY tips, like please give me all the tips you have even if they are crazy or whatever, on how to get through this first day of school, please let me know,(my native language is not English so excuse my bad spelling)
