Oh wow. I appreciate your thoughtful response. I would be PISSED if someone fell asleep on me mid sentence.. yet I am envious of your brother’s ability to conk out so fast. It comes out mostly when I’m stressed, then it can take a few days to fade. Particularly if something really disruptive happens… a bad argument or something. The heavy stuttering I’m working on now has been hanging out with me for a week.. off the back of on particularly ugly conversation that happened I get hung up on syllables. I’ll have a hard time starting a sentence to I’ll just repeat the first sound of the first word I’m trying to say over and over until I pause, collect myself and over enunciate it really deliberately. That’s the experience if something’s actually going on around me. Otherwise, it just appears to throw me a curveball.. I’ll be okay, chatting away and the words just stop wanting to come out. I’ll have it clear in my head, but mid-sentence my tongue will stop cooperating and the next B or W sound I try to make will fuck me up. The most difficult part about those ones is it’ll often take me back to a bit of the traumatized feeling, and the stuttering ITSELF becomes what’s making me upset, so it compounds on itself. Once that wheel starts turning, I’ll generally excuse myself for half an hour until I can control my face again.
