A story of my stuttering Hey there guys, hope you’re doing well. Way to hard to include all the details but I’ll try to get to a gist. I was diagnosed with stuttering at 5 years old. It didn’t effect my friendships but it did give me PTSD from being petrified of speaking everyday. As a result, I like all of you have searched for many resources that have helped to some degree but as I get older the more estranged I feel for having or thinking ina way others don’t. I do want to say one thing though which I did find odd and this is just my own subjective experience as one who doesn’t stutter often but I would say close to regular. When I went to university I began to realize only I could save myself however it happened. This is going to be really really hard to explain but I became subconsciously obstinate of ANYTHING related to stuttering - so even this post, I wouldn’t usually do it because it was related to an insecurity to stuttering. Anyways, I just wanted to say that that obstinance actually allowed me to be fluent and capable but still very very anxious. As a result I didn’t stutter for 2 years in university basically out of distraction and obstinance. If anybody has any questions I can try my best to help. One thing or 2 things that was extremely helpful but indignifying was I HAD to do stretching/meditations for 45 mins each morning and worked out for about 1-2 hours per day as well to help be loose and speak well. Hope this helps someone.
