It is a normal, everyday occurrence - a woman makes an order at a drive-through cafe, and receives her drink.

But what happened when Pixie Price filmed herself at Aylsham's drive-through Starbucks was anything but everyday.

Pixie, 36, from Mundesley, faces a daily struggle with severe social anxiety. She has a stammer and a tic disorder which can turn simple tasks into major challenges.

@pixie_smiles Sorry for the awful camera angle at the start of this. Inspired by @mimidarlingbeauty i thought it may be educational to show how my stammer affects me out in public. This is my forst tome EVER prdering from a drive through, and i cant drive at the moment because my Tics are too unpredictable. Please no hate. #stammer #bekind #starbucksdrivethru #pumpkinspicelatte #stutter #anxiety #raisingawareness #fyp #viral #supportmeplease #foryoupage ♬ Ambient-style emotional piano - MoppySound

She started posting on TikTok under the name 'pixie_smiles' to raise awareness of her conditions - and the Starbucks video has already had 3.5 million views in just five days.

Pixie admitted she was shocked by its viral success.

She said: "I have severe social anxiety and struggle to get out and about, so I decided to start filming myself out in public to show how social anxiety and stammers affect my life."

"My partner woke me up the next morning and said 'darling, your video has a million views'.

"I initially thought he was winding me up so checked in my phone - and kind of just sat staring at it in complete shock.

"The positivity I get from my interactions with people is not what I expected at all.

"I quite often will just not speak as I fear people laughing, but so far the reactions to public speaking have been amazing."

Pixie began making TiKTok videos during the first lockdown in 2020, mostly doing lip-syncing or popular dances.

She set up the new account after relocating to Norfolk from Exeter at the start of September to move in with her partner.

Pixie said she had struggled with her conditions - which include Borderline Personality Disorder - for 25 years.

She said: "The first time I 'blocked' at work I thought I was having a stroke. A block is where you literally can’t get the words out at all; it felt like being a prisoner in my own body.

"So I went to my doctor who referred me to speech and language therapy, who said that the sudden onset was a reaction to the trauma of losing my mum, combined with the Covid pandemic."

Pixie said she was currently not working as her anxiety was so severe, but was hoping to return to working with children with special educational needs (SEN).
