I have an extremely severe stutter such that I’m literally as good as mute. It honestly feels like locked-in syndrome. It’s all the more painful because I’m a very opinionated person, and I’d be very ...

This is exactly how I feel. Everytime I show any confidence I'm kicked down. It's nearly impossible to live the life I want without constantly being Ridiculed. It's taken a huge toll on my mental sta...

Yeah, his Dad in Fall of 2018 and his Mom in the spring of last year. I agree that it's more than stuttering alone. His behaviour hasn't really changed since the loss of his parents, it just happens...

I’m not sure if I’d say I’ve been suicidal, but definitely felt (and continue to feel) hopeless & depressed a bunch. My living situation doesn’t help either. Trying to get a job (which is made har...

I agree. I think it goes deep deep down to the core of our self belief and confidence and... at the end of the day I know I just don’t have a strong foundational belief in myself or, to be honest, eve...

I never said it was the speech therapist job to address these issues. Some people have misinterpreted that from what I said. I’m sure some do address this but the majority of them do not. At least tha...

Maybe we need more people who stutter to go into the field of speech language pathology. I haven't been to speech therapy, I'm saving up some money to afford it so I can at least try and see if a SLP ...

I am just another person in a different country with the same story of yours. And all I can say is no one can really feel us. I just left an MA program because I reached a point where I lost myself...

I hate being misunderstood. It's a deeprooted fear stemming from my stuttering as a cold but it still frustrates me. So I became a writer. At least on paper, I'm absolutely articulate. Lol and today, ...

I had severe anger issues when I was younger because of my stutter. This had severe physical symptoms such as ulcers and migraines. Now that I'm older, I just don't care anymore....

Rest In Peace Neji. He's in a better place now. Good luck with your stutter, mate....

That sucks, gecko person. I like to talk to my Russian tortoise too. Luckily tortoises have really long lifespans. RIP Mr Neji! :(...

a year is not a normal gargoyle gecko lifespan.. I expected to be with him for so much longer and suddenly he is just dead. He helped me overcome so much with my stutter and anxiety, all my geckos did...

Tell your wife that life is not just walking on roses. And problems and struggles are a part of life. So the future child doesn't deserve to live this life if he/she stutters? That's what your wife i...

I was in the exact same place through college, I was miserable and kinda a dick to everyone . Things didn’t start getting better for me until I was 23 or so, and it took some work on my part. Try to m...

You’re not alone friend. Stuttering and the harsh realties of life made me feel like ending my life. Everyday I push on through hoping that I will never reach to that point. Stay strong friend....

Feelings

Feelings I wish I didn't stutter. Social anxiety and depression suck. I feel alone even when I'm surrounded by people who love me because I feel like I can never love myself. Even when I express how m...

Dude, i am 17 too. I wish i had your courage, you inspired me. When stutter began i was 12, from this on I just turned to another person, isolated from friends, no talking, A very closed person. Somet...

yes!! That’s always been how it is for me. It’s fuckin weird. Like others have said it can be linked to your emotional state. When I isolate myself and feel really depressed it always gets worse...

Hello, thank you for your post. I have been struggling with stuttering since I started to talk, but the real struggle came when I hit puberty. I am 17 now. My life sucks, I dont blame my speech to be ...
