A recommendation, could possibly help you

A recommendation, could possibly help you NOTE: I’m not suggesting that the following will cure your stutter. NOTE ALSO: Sorry if there are typos below. I’m just typing this in a pretty excited state and this the first time I’ve ever admitted/written about how difficult my life has been. And after finally finding something that helps, I just wanted to get all of this out. ALSO ALSO: if you give this a try, please come back in 2-3 weeks and let me know how you feel. Hi, I’m not sure if this is allowed, but I just wanted share anyways. I just to help at least one person feel the way I’m feeling. I don’t want to go in too much detail, but my background is: 27y/o, stuttered all of my life. My stutter ranges in severity depending on who I’m talking to. When talking to family, I can barely ever get a word out; I block frequently. With friends, I block occasionally, but hide it alright. With strangers, it’s hit or miss, sometimes I’ll block, other times I’ll make it through a conversation, but they’ll know I’m a stutterer. Life is stressful, all the time. I’m a lawyer who gives advice over the phone. Imagine how stressful my life is; every day is a panic. Anyways, after a tough workday staring at my phone and dreading to make another call, I furiously search this subreddit for possible fixes. I can across a post where a member of this community recommended ashwagandha. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/12072ro/personal_experience_ashwagandha_ltheanine_helped/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1 I was desperate and was willing to try anything. I’ve tried so many things in the past. Vitamins; dietary supplements; none of them worked. But hey, what’s the risk, I’m desperate at this point. I went to Walmart and picked up some ashwagandha. I tried to not have any expectations….but I was stilling thinking that this will end like all of the other things I tried. Going nowhere. Weeks later. And I can’t believe it. I talked to my mom last night, she was shocked. My introduction with clients when I call them is so so much smoother! And I haven’t been fearing speech. Now, I’m not going to lie, I still stutter. But I do not care. And I never thought in my life that I could ever feel that way. But I truly feel it. When it’s time to speak, I’m not anxious, I don’t worry. If I stutter, I stop and take a breath and start over. I could never do that before. I’d just get jammed up and not be able to get a sound out. I’m almost shaking while typing this because I cannot believe what the recent past has been like for me. NOTE: I think this could work well for people whose stutter is exacerbated by anxiety. Ashwagandha is great for anxiety. And note that the effects take anywhere from a few days to few weeks to be felt. PLEASE NOTE: Do you research on the supplement. Some people get bad side effects. And you are supposed to do a few months on and a few weeks off. Just make sure you do your research before taking it.
