You are welcome. I am passionate about nursing. I am also like you. I have a very mild stutter, but can pass as being a fluent speaker most of the time. But then it comes in waves that I have no control over. The periods of extreme dysfluency don't last long enough for me to take concrete steps towards lasting and spontaneous fluency, but they last just long enough to fuck with my self-confidence and mental well-being. I intend to join the Airforce in a year or so. I'll be a Major or Captain almost right off the bat so in a big leadership role. I have been really trying to figure out a way to create and sustain long lasting fluency. I went to buy an X-box at Best Buy last night and was blocking and stuttering so much, I got in the car after and just held my head in my hands for like 5 minutes trying not to cry. idk why even, I don't even care about the people at Best Buy. I can't imagine having to deal with that in the USAF but its been my dream for so long! The thought is what keeps me going most of the time. I wish there was a cure but there isn't, I just wish I wasn't a baddie for wanting one tho.
