We seem to have very similar symptoms in regards to our speech impediments.

This is so true, always that feeling like I had more to say, but feared stuttering so I kept the conversation short and lacking details.

I'm currently reading this book and it's really helped me understand my speech impediment and the traits I have as a result of it - http://www.amazon.com/Out-With-It-Stuttering-Helped/dp/14516....

Sometimes I substitute simple words for more complex synonyms simply because it's easier for me to say.

I encourage you to reconsider speech therapy, it would be time and money well spent. Even if you don't do many sessions, they could give you exercises and tips to use on your own later. Plus you may be able to find some affordable options, some quick googling brought this up: http://www.sfsu.edu/~comdis/clinic.html
