Psychedelics and my Covert Stuttering I don’t know if many of you have done psychedelics, but my experience with shrooms was super eye opening. It was like it showed me everything I had locked away. All of my pain, how I was really feeling about myself, my family, etc. Then i uncontrollably cried like a baby. And like it says in the title. I am a covert stutterer. Sometimes people can’t even tell I stutter until I tell them. Then of course you always get the, “well we all stutter a little bit sometimes,” like nah you don’t understand 🤦🏽. But I stutter severely when I’m around my family or at ease with someone. But after I cried like that, I felt so much lighter for some reason, like all of my trauma was temporarily lifted from my shoulders, and I could talk with soo much ease, without any blocks and stammers at all. It was crazy honestly. It only lasted that 1 night tho. I remember seeing a guy on Joe Rogans Podcast talk about how shrooms helped his stuttering. It sounds kinda cap ngl😂. I wish it was permanent. Which i knew it never would be…
