Developed a Stutter recently To save from having to write to much personal information, I was on the edge of divorce, I never thought I could be pushed to the point I was at, and everything I said to my wife was wrong and my words were twisted and taken not in a loving way but negatively. Two years later we are still together, more in love than when we first met, extremely open, loving, and try to see things in a positive light. But it has become more and more apparent that in stressful situations I stutter uncontrollably and I can not speak clear fluent sentences. Pretty much I just repeat a syllable over and over. I have discovered that this will happen on certain specific circumstances, such as, when I get my daughter ready for school, if at the last minute she can't find something. My wife and I argue. Or if I have to speak to people or in situations that I am uncomfortable (ie vocalize prayer). Obviously this is brought on by sudden stress, but if you look through my history, you will notice that I am deeply religous, and the prayer issue really bothers me. I've been working with a church elder on it in private, but it's not getting any better and I really do not know what else to do. Most of the time I am alright with it, I am learning how to avoid the situations that trigger it, but I guess right now I'm looking for suggestions and support for how to overcome certain situations when they arise suddenly and perhaps things I can look into our research on my own. Thank you guys for taking the time to read this, I appreciate the platform to slightly vent. :)
