I’m having a rough week. It feels like I can’t speak. I have a moderate to severe stutter, which consists of mostly blocking. For the last few days, it’s been incredibly hard to speak, and it’s making me really frustrated. It feels like I can’t even get out a basic sentence without taking nearly/over a minute to say it. A lot of times when I’m blocking, I’ll try to start over or ease my way into the trouble word(s) by using breathing techniques, but none of that seems to be helping right now. There are times where I struggle a bit more with stuttering, but this week feels like the worst it’s been.
