High school was like living moment to moment feeling like my stuttering was going to ambush me at anytime. I was young and could handle all of the energy that it took. I think sports helped me feel a part of the world. My academic classes were really stressful. I was with all of the science kids and felt a bit more accepted with them. i was really stressed out at parties and, just recently, had a memory that I thought geting drunk would help. That is a very dangerous solution, but one that therapists should address. As a therapist, you really need to get personal about these sorts of solutions. I also remeber thinking that one day I would outgrow the nightmare, but that hasn't happened. Fairly recently I was hoping there was a pill--antidepressant or other drug that could help me. These things should be discussed at length with a physician. i, personally, think it is not the answer for me. I wish you well. Thanks, Barb
