Vanir, Yes, all those times when you don't stutter make perfect sense. Maybe when you're angry you allow your true self to emerge, without filters. My stuttering was fully emotional. At the age of 70...

Dude I really don’t think ur stuttering is neurological go read a book right now and tell me what happens, I chase of stuttering if it’s not neurological is a inner conflict or inner disharmony in the...

Forward_Sky, Many stutterers are totally fluent when speaking to a pet or while singing or talking to themselves. That's not always true but often the case. You mentioned that when you get ‘out of yo...

But don’t you think my problem isn’t physical ? Because when I lost sense of my self like actors do I don’t stutter and I hard block when I’m feeling intense emotions. If it was also physical don’t yo...

Forward_sky It sounds like you've been through a lot in life. I am 99.99% fluent except when I'm speaking Spanish! My native language is English but I grew up in a Spanish-speaking part of Texas. I r...

Do you think my stutter is like yours ? When I lose sense of my self I speak 100 percent fluently when I’m alone I speak fluently. When I was younger I had a developmental stutter like I would repeat ...

Have you ever been in therapy for your stutter and BD? And also do you still feel that way about your diagnosis? Have you ever experienced hypomania/mania?...

Ha I don't think I'll ever put them down but you are correct about being able to do so much more in life. Yeah I forgot about borderline personality disorder as BPD so disregard that I meant bipolar...

I hope you can make the right choices and put the drugs down. There's so much you can still do in life, and I made this post because I am intrigued by what living with mental illness and stuttering at...

I was diagnosed with BPD in 2019 I believe while I was working for a poultry production company. I've had the speech impediment my entire life as well as depression and anxiety. I'm skeptical of the...

You said you did therapy, breathing exercises, and speaking more slowly and CBD oil. All of these options could be considered avoidance responses. For example, by focusing on breathing we avoid or hid...

Getting to the root psychological causes and dealing with those has had the most positive impact on my speech and mental health. Most speech therapy was unfortunately useless for me, but psychological...

I took the course about 15 years ago. In hindsight, the program was not a good fit for me. The idea is quite simple: Focus extremely on breathing (and visualising); learn what you want to say ...

I agree. I used to blame my stammer for all my problems and misery. In reality, I just have a melancholic disposition and a collection of psychiatric conditions. After years of overcoming depression I...

I wouldn't have thought like this if my stutter didn't take effect at 15-16. I dropped out of school cause of it. Recently (about 2 months ago) learnt my stutter is neurological and will have for the ...

I tried looking for the book’s pdf I used to study from but I couldn’t find it, some time has passed. If I am not mistaken the book was “Conditions of Nervous Anxiety and Their Treatment”. It’s a book...

No. My Uncle did marry someone who stutters but she isn't blood related to me at all. Otherwise no one. I do have a schizophrenic dad though. No idea if there's any relation like if my stutter cam...

Im not into the psychologist branch, I’m a physicist, yet for my high school graduation I did a compilatory thesis on Stekel’s theory on stuttering. You could give it a read, it was interesting, even ...

Sweet-Holiday I matured because I had to. My parents did nothing to help my stuttering and treated me badly after I began to shutter at the age of 4-5. I believed they valued me so little that they al...
