Is it Developmental or Anxiety related stuttering? Lately I have become a self psychiatrist researcher or what ? I wouldn't have joint this group If I didn't searched for Neurodevelopmental disorder in google . I mean Lately I had started to notice Vocal blocks not able to produce sound when When I am heavily anxious . And I started to notice focus issues as well . Like How I get distracted easily . Researched a lot in chatgpt about Stuttering and ADHD too . I started to relate it with my life . After heavily researching about stuttering and ADHD I am developing Hypervigilence and heavy sub consciously self monitored about my voice and attention . Now I am getting vocal blocks a lot . There is already a feeling in my mind that I am about to get a block . And Also Same goes for attention like I am self monitoring my attention everytime I try to focus on anything . I know this is stutter subreddit . I shouldn't discuss about ADHD here . But for the 6 months I am suffering from vocal blocks a lot at relaxed time too . So I started to ask myself Did I had developmental stuttering . I got to know that I stuttered as a child but It was a long time ago . For the past 12 years I was completely fluent. My father meant I stuttered till age 5-6 . But Still He said it was very mild . My mother also didn't know that I used to stutter . Only my father knew . So I started to become heavily anxious about my speech . And for the past year I am getting blocks and It's getting worse day by day . Can't afford therapy . What's wrong with me. Has my developmental stuttering returned or It was actually gone I grew out of it . Cuz For the past 12 years I can't remember myself being called as stutter kid . I can remember my past . I can only remember myself getting vocal blocks when something bad happened . Like myself getting covid-19 or being failed in exam or giving speech in college . That's it Otherwise I was very fluent speaker . So what is wrong with me . Is it due to anxiety from researching about stuttering a lot or my developmental stuttering returned . Anyone has any idea ? Can I cure this thing completely by curing my anxiety of speech or I should do speech therapy cuz my developmental stuttering has returned ?
