NEJI,

I think all of us stutterers have gone through (or are going through now) what you're experiencing.

I have two children a few years older than you, and as a father, I recommend that you talk to your medical doctor about anti-anxiety medications and maybe an anti-depressant. Or see a psychologist; there's nothing wrong with that.

I think the best thing you can do in the meantime is chill. Do something fun that doesn't involve speaking to people you don't know. Go to movies. Read books. Take long walks. Listen to music through headphones. Hang out with your friends you're comfortable talking to.

But for god's sake, don't even think about going off the deep end. I've been a stutterer for 55 years and have gone through rough times as well, paying way too much attention to my speech. But I've always pull out of it, and you can, too. You'll be ok my friend.

But please keep in touch with us. We all need support, and we're all here to support you.

your path will not be destroyed because of stuttering.. I stuttered severely from about the age of 5 or 6 until 31... Yet---I was happilly married by the age of 23 and successful/financial independent entrepreneur around the same time... All of that happened WHILE stuttering.. Now that I'm fluent, I look back on stuttering as an important part of my path.

I know exactly that feeling. That whole brain analogy is 100% real. I do that "brain" stutter because I can feel it right there before I speak. It is frustrating but I think the advices of going to a psychologist or psychiatrist to treat the anxiety are the key for these cases. I haven't been to one yet but I will. I can speak fluently at times but then, when I am with friends and family I stutter more. Every case is very particular so you will see a lot of different stories. I have started stuttering at age 19 or 20 and it has been real tough but I have also gotten married and work but I block a lot.
