I work at a place with an "H" as the first sound in the company name and I fuck it up all the time. Obscenely hard name for me to say more than 75% of the time, I'd say. I've even had the same thought...

It does suck and I’m sorry you had such a shitty day. You got the job because you’re qualified. I’m not a PWS so I can’t give you btdt experience. Names suck because there’s no easy workaround. ...

This sucks. I’m going to quit my job

This sucks. I’m going to quit my job I need to vent. This post is difficult. I’ve kind of managed to control my stuttering over the years; I believe I’ve gotten better. I’m fact, when I was in my twe...

i am always highly skeptical of this "cure your stutter in X days" or "use this herb and it will go away!" first, i don't think it's the best attitude to act like it's some unsavory thing that needs ...

I definitely wouldn't lie about it. Honesty seems the most healthy. Anyways... could you not have just stated your condition? Would that not have given you a pass of some sort? As for avoidance, som...

Have you ever been able to laugh at a stutter incident yourself? I ask because I think this may be an important reaction to be able to have. It might also make it easier to understand why others could...

I don't think it'd call it practice, because that sounds like something that will end up improving things, and I'm not sure that's the case overall. I guess we could call it maintenance? But that real...

Mine comes through when I call somebody, so while I wait on them to answer the phone i sing Hello Goodbye by The Beatles. It takes my mind off the stutter. ...

yeah, my problems definitely constantly change and the coping mechanisms continue to evolve and fail as well. i think you are right, the weed probably isn't helping you out. i feel the best regardi...

I've experienced the same phenomenon of coping mechanisms *becoming* part of the stutter and I've been slowly finding my way out of it. When you incorporate techniques like filler words and counting, ...

Does anybody else's stutter constantly mutate and evolve to be immune to workarounds?

Does anybody else's stutter constantly mutate and evolve to be immune to workarounds? Back in high school I noticed starting troubling words with a soft "H" sound worked perfectly, so I did that for a...

The issue I also have with the courses is that you're forever tied into a technique, and rely on that technique. The pattern with stutterers and from what you've said seems to just be putting yourself...

cool story, thanks for sharing! i agree with you about the courses. i took one here in the US, and i hated how i sounded afterwards. i generally came to the opinion later that i would rather sound lik...

I've edited this post as I read that wrong. By no means am I cured, I just choose not to stutter. Even when my stutter was at it's worst, I disagreed with certain things that were said based on my ow...
