We're here for you, and I can definitely understand and empathize with where you're at. I had many periods of unemployment in my 20's where it was really daunting to look for a job. I found I stuttered a lot more when I used the phone. Do you find this is true for you, that you stutter less when speaking in person to people? Also I find that, if I'm speaking *while* I'm thinking, I stutter a lot less. Like, if you just rattle off words while you're forming your thoughts, just letting it flow. I think we stutter more when asked to repeat ourselves because then we are *consciously thinking* about what we are about to say, and this aggravates our stutter. I'm 31 now and I only took speech therapy for the first time a year ago. I went for 10 sessions. Its all I was given under the public system (I live in Canada. Here you can apply for speech therapy through a hospital and get a set amount of sessions based on your need. The alternative is $100/hour for private sessions which I tried once). In therapy I learned that speaking softly and just consciously using whats called "gentle starts" on your words can really help to lessen stuttering. Try saying a sentence and for each word, just very lightly touch on the first letter. Breathe deeply, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Another strategy is to exhale slightly before you say a word, a "delayed start" All the best to you. Don't let your stutter get you down. You're smart and articulate and you can communicate well, and you will find a job. Just keep at it and remind yourself that you have everything it takes to succeed. You'll be comfortable with how you speak. Stuttering is not defeat, and its nothing to be embarrassed about. The other person will understand you and wont mind stuttering at all, even when they ask you to repeat yourself.
