I stutter, stutter, but not all the time, sometimes I speak fluently without stuttering at all, usually when I speak fast, I get stressed, it gets stronger, I really feel terrible about it. I try to speak slower, but it is stronger than me, I am very afraid that it will get worse with age, and I am only 18 years old. It happens to me often, repeat a syllable or I cannot say a word at all, even if I want to, because of my problem I leave the house less and less, I avoid talking to my friends and parents.
Mrs. Anita, in order to help you, you need a speech therapist, maybe also a psychological consultation, and make an accurate diagnosis, what type of speech disfluency, of what intensity. Only then can you start working on exercises, the regular repetition of which would help to get rid of the problem. I encourage you to talk to a specialist, in this case, neither distance counseling, nor attempts to exercise based on materials from the Internet will be effective.
