Hi, Pam! What comes to mind on reading your post is that variation in the ability to handle 'life' varies from day to day for all of us. We are not always at our most resilient every day. I wonder if your reaction to a harder block in the incident you described just happened on a day when you weren't as tolerant of glitches as you might have been another day. What actually might result in the variation could be a myriad of things that make us less able to cope on a particular day--being tired, being stressed by something else, having a fast-paced day overall, not feeling well, and so on. Whatever the cause(s), when frustration is higher it may help to put it in perspective. Since you typically cope well and feel good about yourself whether or not you happen to stutter, the occasional reaction is just that--an occasional event, a normal variation in your generally quite good attitude about yourself and your stuttering. Regards, Lynne
