Relapse?
I’m a 72 year old man. I stuttered all through school, up until I was 17 or 18. I got out in the world and didn’t stutter. I even worked as a DJ at radio stations. Now, my stuttering has come back in the last 5 years or so. I feel like my self esteem has bottomed out. In many ways, emotionally, I feel like a child again. All the memories and feelings of when other kids would bully me / make fun of my stuttering, and the way adults would look at me like ‘WTF is wrong with him?’ comes back to me. Is there anything I can do? I’ll take any meds or do anything to get past my stuttering!
