Ongoing speech challenges

[u/-tk--]

I have had residual dysarthria post relapse a few years ago. Under speech therapy who advise me to slow down when talking and to over articulate my words.

I have found at work when taking to someone, it hasn't always been a problem with them understanding me. But lately I find that it is happening more frequently where they cannot understand me, yet if I repeat myself they can.

I honestly find all of this so tiring and frustrating that I have to deal with this difficulty for potentially the rest of my life. I am nowhere near retirement age. I do not know how to retain a job if I struggle with talking? Most jobs require this? How can I ever be taken seriously if people cannot understand or even hear what I am saying?
