Something that is helping

Something that is helping So, I'm now 30 and I've had a stutter and a stammer for as long as I can remember. It's been my nemesis and my friend over the years, and over the last few years - I've start...

A lot of my stuttering has to do with my self esteem. If I'm feeling down one day I'll noticeably start stuttering more than usual. If I'm more confident than ever, I'll stutter less or be nearly 100%...

It's a cluster fuck. I have an I.T. service desk job and I'm taking all fucking day. It's really hard to stay on task. At the end of the day I feel like collapsing....

If you are really addicted like me, it will be a painfull journey. But the outcome is amazing, you will be a different person. I felt amazing from day 5-14, but then i got withdrawal symptoms such as ...

This is great and agree with everything you said. Exercise, cutting down on caffeine and drinking has been a big one for me. Feel better. Talk better. ...

Agreed. I cannot be the person I want to be because of my stutter. I cannot be "okay" with weird facial expressions, choppy speech, and physical exhaustion....

Sounds a bit curious from my perspective, but that's just because I don't have that habit. And as a habit considered, I don't think we need to assume it's connected to the stuttering. However, the pr...

Weird, I have almost complete fluency when I drink. But the next day, hungover and tired, my fluency takes a massive nosedive and it can take a couple days to gain any confidence back in my speech. Th...

How to get over the fact that I stutter? Emotional state.

How to get over the fact that I stutter? Emotional state. So today in class we (6 of us) had a presentation I planned to do minimal talking because the class is a full class ~30 and that scares the cr...

I'm a dude, I stutter less when I feel my testosterone is higher ...

Stutter associated with hormones?

Stutter associated with hormones? Has anyone read anything about stutters being associated with hormones? I find that i stutter the most close to my period, so i feel like the change in my hormones ar...

Drinking Water

Drinking Water I've noticed recently if i'm not constantly drinking water during the day, my Stutter becoming much worse due to a dry mouth or possibly dehydration. Has anyone else realized this?...

Oh yeah, same here. I tend to feel a bit 'drunk' when I'm super sleep-deprived, and when I hit that weird euphoric state where I'm intoxicated-adjacent, everything loosens up, including my diaphragm a...

What do you think is the root cause of your stutter?

What do you think is the root cause of your stutter? Hey everybody, first post here. I've been thinking and researching a lot lately about the process of speech, how it works, the specific intricaci...

Same as you. I guess everything that causes less awareness (low control over your head and body) will help us speak better. Of course it will not be helpful in long term cause you're not sleepy or dr...

I'm the same as you OP! Also when I'm mad I'm pretty fluent. The same holds true for Spanish which I am not fluent (different fluent hahaha) in at all but trying. If I'm mad or exhausted my Spanish i...

total opposite for me. less sleep results in more stuttering. even a halfhour powernap clears up my head and does wonders...

Stuttering less when tired/under sleeping

Stuttering less when tired/under sleeping I don't get it. I noticed this affect at uni when I regularly pulled 36-hour all nighters - at the end of it I would turn into a lucid eloquent mofo (relativ...

Since talking is work, dating is work. I get very exhausted after talking for long periods of time. My thinking process when it comes to dating differs from most I believe. Here's an example of an ...

Having a routine seems to help and I might try the bulletproof coffee you mentioned. I have tried rapping and even singing to get myself (and my vocal chords) going in the morning so I understand that...
