Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I remember having a stutter at around age 5-7. I even still remember what it felt like when words got stuck. To me it felt like a kind of stress response. Once the stutter started it was kind of a self-reinforcing reflex. Don't remember exactly how I got over it, but I think I started preparing how I would say things and pre-vocalize, and once I had gotten the first few words out smoothly it went easier from there. After a while it stopped entirely.
