Stutter worse right before period I have to present in my job at least once a day for a week every 2-3 weeks. And I can hold myself together for the most part, but I notice that, like clockwork, in the week before my period I can barely get a word out. It is truly exhausting and embarrassing. I struggle to talk to people during this time too. I also notice my asthma gets exponentially worse during this week too. Trying to constantly switch words or pretend I’ve forgotten a word (I haven’t, I just can’t say it) just makes me sound odd or stupid. It wears me down so much. Do other women on this sub notice this trend? Apologies if it has been asked before..
