🙃 Yes, I was diagnosed just a few months ago. It's definitely a bit of everything, burnout, PTSD, and not being heard, I think. I'm glad I started stuttering in one way because it was the wake-up call I needed. I couldn't ignore the physical symptom of the stress I was under. Without the stutter, I may have kept trying to push through things and suffered more damage. Yep, it's weird when it appears after some time of speaking fluent. I'm trying to keep positive about it and laugh when it happens. I call it 'I'm buffering again.'
