I believe I'm developing a speech impediment. I keep stuttering and stumbling with words, and will occassionally mix up words. When i do so, prefer to mumble so i wouldn't get embarrassed, and would repeat myself with the correct phrase. I believe it started developing two years ago, when i was a freshmen. I went through a phase when i frist went to my new school. At first I didn't like my school and began isolating myself. I had friends, many friends, but they were really busy, so i would say home and since i had nothing else to do i would (ick) read or research. I also began building my writing vocabulary; that is, i would write with complex words but wouldn't speak them. Can someone please explain why and how speech impediments form, and how i can treat them, other than a speech therapist? I never had problems speaking before.
