Stammering

I used to struggle with a stammer when i was younger to the point where i sought professional support to help me get to a point where i could talk more fluently. I feel like it is coming back and i spoke to my counsellor about it, well....he noticed it and said it may be due to stress and emotional trauma. I am seriously annoyed that its come back and its really embarrassing, i have found the only way it doesn't affect me as much is to talk really quickly but i SHOULDN'T have to do that.

    I stutter a lot too. So I realise it can feel embarrasing but sometimes people dont notice it and even if they do - they probably dont see it as embarrasing. Cause sure we have all done it. I found thinking that it is embarrassing and thinking so hard about not stutting/stammering makes me stutter more and makes me more anxious. But i fear doing it less so i do ,-do it less.
    Lol.I dont think that actually makes any sense.

    But youre not alone & i hope youre okay today
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
