Who else here stuttered right after Covid?

Who else here stuttered right after Covid? I feel like the 1 year lockdowns really damaged me. Before the lockdowns, I could talk normally fast without any sort of stutter and it sucks too, because I was just starting my new college when the lockdowns ended and that’s when my stuttering journey really began when I tried to talk to new people. It was like a slow build-up for months where the long gaps/blocks just came out of nowhere. I noticed I don’t stutter when I talk to myself, but when I am in front of anyone my brain and body automatically goes flight or fight mode and the random rush of anxiety hits me and my stuttering worsens. But the weirdest part is that, I used to feel a lot anxious back then too but I never stuttered during those times and could actually speak despite being cold and nervous. I think the biggest factor that contributes to my stuttering is fearing that I will stutter before a conversation so therefore, choosing to not open myself up to anyone and whenever I’m trying to speak, my mind just goes poof blank and I tend to stutter on thinking what to say next. Anyway, this whole stuttering shit just sucks. No one deserves this. I am trying each day to undo this mess, it will be a slow progress but at the end I hope I can become more fluent again, like I was in the past. It might be hard at the moment, but I’m trying every day to at least practice conversations again with random people and read books loudly.
