I'm 32 and have had a mild stutter my whole life. It seems like it has worsened in the last few years, or maybe just started bothering me more, so I sought out something to help. I read about Xanax ...

Obligatory background: I always had a very covert stutter. Nobody knew about my stutter but it fairly well crippled my social life and my willingness to speak up in any situation. Regarding your pos...

I think for the people who have used pills and supplements it has worked for them only because it has reduced their stress/mindset around speaking in general. No pill is going to cure it indefinitely,...

Awesome, thank you. I recognize some of my own issues in your writing (being conscious regarding other people's thoughts concerning my speech). Are there any videos you would especially recommend?...

Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety!

Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety! I'm 19 years old and have had my fair share of blocks, prolonged sounds, and many other speech problems. I found a YouTube channel called "Vo...

I am dealing with this as well. Its certainly harder to do while living off campus at college. Its to the point where I hardly talk for fear of messing something up I guess. Its not so much my stutter...

I get nervous because of what they might think, and fact that they are higher-ups. I think you're right about having no pressure in HS. I've inquired about speech therapy, I'm just waiting for their ...

What makes you nervous? Maybe it's because there wasn't so much pressure to speak eloquently in high school as there is in the working world. There was more pressure for me in high school than in the...

Trouble Speaking

Trouble Speaking Hello, I would like to get some insight/suggestions on how to conquer my stuttering, I figure I start on Reddit. I've always been the talkative kind, especially in high school and had...

My week was meh like always. Had some pretty bad anxiety because I had to call to make an appointment with the doctor. Stuttered pretty bad but I got through it. Been suicidal since Summer 2011...sti...

Honestly, I've never posted on one of these before but I will today. I've had a horrible week apart from getting off college for the summer. I have 2 weeks work experience now, the first day was today...

Week was great, but I had a shitty week with talking and such. Went to watch my brother graduate from clemson university with a degree in chemical engineering (fuck that hard shit, mechanical is whe...

I reckon the world is too cruel to let interviewers know about stuttering prior to the interview. I've not had many jobs, but a lot of positions are listed with the requirement of "strong communicatio...

Thank you for the encouraging post concernedHR. I have met many recruiters who shared your enthusiasm, but also others who obviously passed me over because of a stutter, discounting qualifications and...

Thanks for the advice, even now I still feel doubt, whether I should disclose the truth before the interview, but now you made it clear it is better to inform them before so they assess rightly...

Hi, yes it might be a good idea to mention it in a light hearted way. I sometimes drop it in to conversation if I just had a bad stammer. Just make sure you don't mention it in a negative way, 'ok I ...

Skype therapy group?

Skype therapy group? Just an idea that came to mind. Would a small group of people like to get together once a week or so to practice speaking over the internet? I'll be honest, the idea scares the he...

If you've got the blocking type stutter it may make sense to mention it at the beginning of the interview; perhaps something lighthearted yet helpful. I recently had a phone interview where I had t...

Yep, I agree. If anything getting it out in the air will make you feel more comfortable,and thus less likely to stutter more. And honestly, if phone interviews make you nervous, see if you can't do ...

How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all?

How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all? Hello all, I'm new here and I'm sure this has probably been brought up before, but I'll share anyways. I recently ...
