Why do I recently stutter a lot in speech and have a serious problem with concentration in class?

I'm a 24 years old female,I recently noticed that I struggle a lot whenever I have a conversation with my friends where I keep stuttering and jam words together and the concentration issue got even serious, I can't concentrate anymore in classes, I also tend to forget lately a lot of common things like my friends names or some actions I did in the morning or even some ideas while speaking.

Can this be a psychological problem or physical one? How can I get back to normal without taking any meds.

Fyi I didn't have any accident or trauma before, and I don't have anything worrying me more than this issue, I was healthy and could speak in a flowing way with no problem, but in july, 2018 after overworking for my final exams I got really sick (throwing up + first time having anxiety) so after that I did a blood work twice that showed abnormal results (high t4 [29] and normal tsh [1.42]), I repeated the same test 4 months ago in another laboratory and the results came normal and the doctor said that it could've been a mistake.

Could this be related to my condition?

Plz help this is starting to destroy my social life T_T

@satori00,

I had a horrible stutter from my late teens into my mid 20s. I still stutter on occasion (although I have learned not to care and mostly people don't notice).

I highly recommend talk therapy. You are very clearly dealing with stress (in addition to the stuttering). A good therapist can help you understand what is going on, address and develop coping strategies.

I can talk more about my experience with stuttering if it would help.

@satori00,

Having a stutter would not affect your concentration in class. However, it could be that whatever has caused your lack of concentration has exacerbated your stutter.

I would recommend seeing a doctor and maybe going to speech therapy.

You can never cure a stutter but you can manage it. The best way to do that is be up front about it, if you tell people you have a stutter it puts the pressure off and makes it easier to handle.

You need to think about what situations are more likely to make you stutter, for me it was in a one to one situation. I could stand on stage and address a crowd with no problems at all but talking on the phone or having a job interview was another matter entirely.

It does get better, but you really need to see a doctor about your lack of concentration.
