Do you know any tips for silent blocks and prolongations? My whole life i avoided hard words.i have never able to stutter infront of someone..if i feel like im gonna get stuck,i will use another word or a phrase to say express the idea i want..so because of that noone even know i have stuttering.but everyday i am mentally and emotionally so exhausted.my brain automatically use word linking and word replacing for stuttering..but there are times where word linking cannot be applied due to appropriateness.so avoided situations alot..i never able to be the person i want or express myself the way i want to..with my stuttering it takes few seconds for a word to come.sometimes i cannot say thankyou or good morning at the right time.So when that happens i feel guilty and embarrassment alot.even yesterday i went to sleeping thinking i dont want to wake up in the morning and do the same war again.i am so tired.mostly i dont enjoy anything.i feel so behind.but i always have this faith that someday i will be able to be who i want to be .that hope motivates me to wipe my tears and again do the things..If anything have worked for you ..please share
