Times of stress really trigger stuttering for me. Deep rooted problems (emotionally and financially) and anxiety from overthinking really makes me stutter so much that I’d rather crawl into a ball awa...

I empathize with you greatly. I'm in a dead end unfulfilling job. I have anxiety and depression and I feel like my stutter is the worst that it's been because of all of this. I remember when I had a g...
