talking on the phone is a nightmare for me. I actually wrote a post a couple down about HIPAA, and the phone calls I had. It is kind of sad, but it is a big reason why I dislike my birthday and christ...

There is only one way to get more comfortable speaking to other people, isn't there? =). It would help me, even though my stutter / stammer is not really that bad when I'm not full of anxiety. I just ...

I am in week 3 of taking valium every day along with .5mg xanax for "stressful situations" and I will say it really has helped me. I am in a foreign country studying German, so ordering at restaurants...

I had tried escilatopram (lexapro),(10gm), my first and only anti-depressant, and it did make me sleepy. I was sleeping almost all day even if I wasn't tired. Good thing a took a semester off of sch...

anybody tried xanax? which medication worked best?

anybody tried xanax? which medication worked best? I probably should look to treat the back of my head as I slipped and hit it in 2009. only last year did I start to feel some head shakes upon walkin...

It would be pressure, wouldn't it? If we don't like phone calls, how would a google hangout help? I'm honestly not trying to be rude, I'm asking a legit question but it's hard to word it correctly hah...

Phone calls are really hard on me also, and just general socialization. Social people with no problems talking tell me about their life problems, but boy, what I would do to be them instead. Each year...

I'm a stutterer, not as bad as I used to be but the phone is still fairly hard. I have a job where the phone is a preferred way of communication, so it's scary sometimes. A professor called me up th...

Yea I cant tell you how many times i've been hung up. For me phone success is all chance, I got to be in a good mood, in a good place, at a good time, talking to someone who's good haha you get the po...

Would love to hear how law school was for you sometime. Pretty cool you got through it and graduated with what you call a 'severe stutter'. My sister showed me around her trial classroom once when I...

I used to be really terrified of conference calls with customers. That fear has gradually gone down as my confidence in my knowledge has gone up. But I still some times get tripped up. Even though I'm...

Yes! I'm usually better if I'm answering the phone because for some reason I don't feel the pressure of having to maintain the conversation. But if I have to dial someone up and initiate the conversat...

I occasionally have a hard time answering the phone, which was a problem during my recent job search. If I had a block, I'd just hang up and call back. For some reason I don't have a problem if the ot...

I wish I could rip out my petty emotions and beat the shit out of it. Logic tells me I shouldn't give a fuck but emotions have significantly more control over me when it comes to speaking....

What is that supposed to mean? As in I work below my education level? In that case yes I do. I looked up my work once again and found out I translated it wrongly. I work as a paralegal, not a legal as...

Yeah.. same here, I hate phone calls so badly. I've had to hang up a few times, collect myself and then call back later. Phone calls are my greatest fear. It's so messed up. As soon as I hear the phon...

it is a daily drug like xanax or something? Do you think Klonopin would help a severe stutterer? I've always been pretty severe and overt. I generally dont have feelings of ugliness or awkwardness bu...

About talking on the phone

About talking on the phone My legs are all twitchy from the nervousness of my last phone call. Does anybody feel the same way? Speaking on the phone is such a challenge, I hate that there is complete...

In a pickle about a job.

In a pickle about a job. So, I'm 17, just graduated a few weeks ago (go me!), and now it's time to start to get a job. There's a local Chili's that has a few openings, but a lot of them are server and...
