hi i'm Meaghan:) I'm a 17 year old Canadian who has had "on and off" stuttering for as long as i can remember
I'm just wondering if anyone else here has the same worries that I do, such as using the phone (answering the phone mostly), I have a job which requires me to do this, and my obsession over preventing stuttering has caused me to become incredibly anxious and obsessive at work and leading up to work.
I also sometimes feel like because of my stutter that I will not be able to communicate effectively as an adult or in any career, it terrifies me..
Also, my dad stuttered as a teenager but his stopped. It's definitely genetic but im just wondering if anyone would know if I have a good chance of stopping one day too?
Thanks ! hope to hear back from other stutterers
