Ive stuttered ever since I could talk Im 27 M and my stutter holds me back from so many things. I cant even say my first or last name 90% of the time. My wife passed away from cancer in july and we have 3 kids together that share my last name. I always dread calling into their school or Dr's appointments because I know im not gonna be able to say either their first or last names (All start with J and their last name is Italian) I was in speech therapy for 8 years in school but was taught to "stop and think about what you're trying to say". I stutter more when I think about what im trying to say. I read 160 words per minute in 1st grade. I have major blocks that seem like im having a stroke. I legit hate it. I switch words into sentences to attempt to say a sentence without stuttering. What does everyone do to help not to stutter. Breathing seems to help but my anxiety makes it so much worse. Tia!
