I have a reather unusal question. If you had a magic pill that instantly cured stuttering, what emotions would you feel while you were holding it in your hand, about to swallow it??
Now, guess the most obvious answers would be excitement, joy and a whole bunch of positive emotions, but what else would you feel??
The reason that I ask is that a number of years ago, I found out about an apparent cure for stuttering and promised that I would never have to worry about stuttering again. Once I had booked all the tickets and flights andit was all finalised, I found myself turning into a nervous wreck. I was unable to sleep for days and I was having a surprisingly tough time of it. For some reason I felt absolutely petrified that this cure might actually work. All I could picture was me trying to live my life fluent, and kept thinking about all the extra responsibilities Id put on myself to be successful at everything that I felt stuttering was holding me back from.
I feared lossing my stutter. Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or am I crazy?
