Hi,

'If you were having a hard time with something else, say your job, would you have the same type of reaction?' - that is a very important question Melinda.

Sometimes I am under enormous pressure to meet a deadline. That sort of stress reall motivates me. It gives me a buzz because I anticipate how elated I will feel when I get the job in on time. And then I do not feel stuttery at all. However, if I feel under pressure over which I have no control at all then I do start to feel that 'hopeless/helpless' feeling which results in mild and temporary depression and a corresponding increase in that stuttery feeling.

John
