When I think about stuttering, it makes it way worse.

Exactly!!!

I rehe in my mind the things I'm going to say... suddenly I'll panic because I start thinking that I am going to stutter and there it goes.... There are moments that I forget about stuttering and I'll wonder at the end of the day did I stutter? I never noticed...

Every day man, it drives you up the wall i mean just the whole theory of stuttering.

I can sometimes predict whats going to happen but sometimes I will surprise myself and be fluent. Thats the its really unpredictable and every single days of my life i think about stuttering. But sometime I feel like I should be able to say anything I want and start to think i feel fine, what is stuttering anyway. Then when I go to talk i can bearly get the words out.

I don't know whether it's denial or fortitude but I seems to have the same sort of outlook as you. My aspirations in life aren't really influenced by my stutter, but of course the achievement of those aspirations is: something like having a phantom limb or driving to a destination in a dilapidated car.
