I know this is from 2 years ago but still I wanna throw my two cents in.. I have a severe stutter. It physically hurts. It’s not like a paralyzing feeling or pain but it’s like every muscle in my entire body gets stuck and tightens up. It has gotten so bad to where I physically couldn’t breathe and I passed out from the sheer lack of oxygen to my brain. It feels like the heaviest elephant or creature to walk this earth just sits down directly on me and is just crushing me. Also not to mention all the psychological pain it causes too. If you’re reading this and you have a stutter like mine where it feels like this.. I’m so sorry. Nobody truly understands unless they have it themselves or had it and SOMEHOW got rid of it. Genuinely tho, I’m so incredibly sorry.
