speech blocks at vowel sounds. a technique that briefly worked was prefixing ‘-e ‘ to the word(e- onion) , but that just doesn’t seem to work anymore. saying ‘eight’ is also depressingly challenging ...

I avoid taking phone calls like it's the plague. If i have to take one then I practice it 20 times ahead and still stutter uncontrollably...

It be like that, I predominantly have blocks and prolongations...

I hear you!! The blocks were my WORST, I developed a radical approach of sorts, I think of it as “Fluency at All Costs”. When do you block the most? That will help shape my response to you. (:...

Stuttering at work

Stuttering at work Just venting I guess….I have speech blocks. Most people recommend to substitute the word you struggle with if you can. But I can’t do that. At my job I have a specific set of phrase...

I stuttered sometime during the interview, seemed like I lost my train of thought and was never able to redeem myself...

Does it ever get better?

Does it ever get better? 23 F, just finished a very big interview and stuttered all through it even after I practiced for weeks, did all the prep. I already know I didn’t get the job because one of t...

Mine is severe. I can't speak without stuttering and it takes me a very long time and a huge amount of physical exertion to say even just a few words. That plus the weird facial expressions....

severe - you cannot say a word and if you try it takes forever (good luck with a whole sentence). Example: ".....................iiiiii............iiii.......i am.........(20 seconds later) John. mi...

I have an interview tomorrow + partial rant I guess

I have an interview tomorrow + partial rant I guess Hi there, I am a 30 year old woman. As you can guess, as a lifetime stutterer I have so much I can vent, but you already know because you are living...

Feel you on that, but my stutter in speech therapy got evaluated as moderate, but stutter on nearly every sentence (mainly blocks and prolongations)...

I have mentioned my self practice in another comment I've found three go-to techniques that have worked wonders when I hit a snag or kick off a word: 1. **Elongation**: This is my top pick f...

If I have a block and force myself to speak, I'll loose my voice. Same way you loose it when screaming at a concert...

Not for speech to text. It gives me too much anxiety to remember to talk the punctuations. Hey! I was able to do that with speech to text! lol. But usually just quick stuff like “set a timer.”...

Hmm… you think maybe it has to do with the breath inhale before you start the sentence? Sometimes I get out of breath before I start a sentence with “I” and run out of air before I can start the rest ...
