Stuttering going away for a long time? Just found this sub so I hope I do this right but I have question. I had a really bad stutter when I was young and was put into a speech therapy class to help me get over. By the time I was in 3rd Grade I had pretty much completely fixed my stutter. Sure, there's been the occasional hiccup in a sentence that I suppose is a remnant of that but it's never really come back. But about a month ago it just kind of... came back? Not to the degree that it at when I was a kid (like 13ish years ago) but I'm getting hung up on words A LOT more often now. Mostly my name. Has this happened to anyone else? I've been stressed a lot more recently (new job, just moved, etc) and maybe that could be the cause?
