Bad day Hello, Ive had a mild stutter all of my life, I remember when I was a kid I wouldn't go to the toilet at school because asking to go would lead to a teacher trying to get me to break down the words. I had 3 years of speech therapy at 15 where the only goal was to be able to tell a joke without taking ages to finish the punchline. I then worked in a shop from 18 and it changed everything, I was forced to talk to people face to face and although I would stutter here and there, it felt much better. Im 31 years old and today got my qualification to be a mental health nurse, and i had a bad night's sleep. I went into a pharmacy and could not say the word medication or my name which has lead me spiraling, thinking how can i be a nurse if i cant say such important words. Does anyone else have those days where you feel like you've taken 3 steps back? Or am I just being dramatic? Its a bad day not a bad life but it made me feel like that kid again trying to ask for something.
