I'm 27 and I struggle with this. I still don't know what causes it but my shrinks seem to think its from my schizophrenia. "Disorganized thoughts" How can thoughts be disorganized if there are none? I've always had it as well. I used to be mute when I was little because I would try so hard to speak and nothing would come out or I would stutter the same word. So I gave up speaking. My teachers thought that I was autistic. I went to speech therapy for two years and it helped a lot. Mostly I think because the tutor didn't make me rush to say anything, she helped me in my time. In school you have to say an answer immediately and that put a lot of pressure on me. I still have trouble in real time conversations and it is very embarrassing when you say something incorrectly. You can't explain that you're smarter than you sound. I can't even say "that came out wrong" most of the time. I would, if I were you, and since it sounds like it may be getting worse, I would go to a regular doctor and see what they say. They might even do a brain scan to see if there is a blockage, or blood tests to see if there is a chemical imbalance that may be causing it. I need to speak with my P doc tho because I've just realized that some of my stuttering is possibly a result of some past trauma as it gets worse when I am around a certain person. Not that it is any easier to control! Sorry you're going through this. Its frustrating.
Thanks for this!
