Stutter developed at the worst time in my life I’ve never struggled with a stutter, I’ve always been a very confident person who adored speaking. (Even if I had nothing important to say) Year 11, starting a program (ib) and sometimes I can’t finish sentences, and it’s frustrating as all hell. I can’t find words that I knew that I understand how to use. Or I’ll read a sentence and stutter like REALLY bad as I aggressively just try and power through it. I’ve been on adderall for 3 years now, if it means anything. I said “Dakota” once or tried to, and it took me like 5 seconds. I’ve had one where it was past that. Debate is going to be horrible work this. Maybe I’m being dramatic and this like is very minor, but what are some coping mechanisms that are useful? What helps you deal with a stutter?
