Full-Word Repetition: Is This a Stutter and Do You Have Any Tips? Hello, I’m (username) and I sometimes get stuck repeating an entire word while talking. (Hello username!) This doesn’t happen very often and when it does it’s 3-5 repetitions before I can continue with the rest of the sentence. It gets worse when I’m anxious but it can happen at any time. Trying to order? “What’s on the menu-menu-menu-menu-menu today? It can be two words sometimes: “What do you know-you know-you know-you know about this? Today during a panic attack I couldn’t stop repeating the word “talking”. I know what words were going to follow “talking”, so it’s not like I was stalling for time or trying to remember a word on the tip of my tongue. It’s like the record was stuck and I was frustrated that I couldn’t stop moving my mouth until until the repetition eventually ended. Is this considered a type of stutter? Are there any tricks to stop once you start? It usually doesn’t bother me, but today was bad. Any advice would be much appreciated.
