Okay, thanks for sharing. Up until recently, this was my problem too. In April this year I started getting therapy in a hospital in Germany where I spent 5 weeks at first. In the first two weeks we focused on relieving anxiety as much as possible. I didn't believe in it at first, so did many others, but it actually worked for everyone. So, the thing we did was, we went into the pedestrian zone (I hope that's a word, I mean the place you can go shopping) of a city and started asking people how to get to a certain place (starting with something simple). Of course we would have a massive anxiety before that and everyone stuttered a lot. But as I asked more and more people, I realised that my stutter is not a problem for anyone else but me. Of course some people were in a rush, and some just didn't listen, but it didn't matter at all. It was such an amazing experience for me. I recommend doing something like that (grab a friend maybe that you can share your experience with). As a first step for realising that there really is nothing to be afraid of. So basically what I am trying to say is: Show your stutter. Don't try to hide it in some way and you will (!) feel better about it and ultimately that is the only way to fight your anxiety.
