I think it's different for everyone to be honest, my stutter isn't as severe as a lot of others that I've seen on Youtube, documentaries and what not, but it's still there, the thing for me is that, i...

Hello!

Hello! Hi there, I just subscribed, but I wanted to say hello and explain why I'm here. I have stuttered for as long as I can remember, since I could speak I guess. My parents subscribed to the "just ...

People hardly react at all - mine is quite mild, and I have many strategies for managing it, so there are numerous people who might not even know I have a stutter. When people do, they usually don't...

no, i fluently ordered my hot dogs and said thank you. when i order, i keep my talking to a minimum to avoid conflict....

I had a very similar experience. I took on a job as a cocktail girl during my "good speech period", which was a HUGE leap of faith for me. As soon as my stutter began to show its annoying face a few w...

If you think you'll become dependant on them then yea, I would stay away. Being addicted to benzos is not a good thing. I guess my other suggestion would be to go talk to a speech therapist who knows ...

The bad periods are unavoidable, but they don't last forever. Much like good periods, they are easy come easy go. The hardest part about work is getting the job. Now that you have it, all you can do i...

I don't think I've read in two sentences, a better rationale as to why I need to avoid substitutions. Thank you!...

It's a trick. The fear on the word you're avoiding will just increase which will in turn cause you to make more substitutions and eliminations in your sentences. ...

Very touching stories I can relate to you guys. I'd like to add another thing about my speech that basically almost eliminates my stutter, but makes me sound really slow or like I have something wrong...

My old fallback for when I'm having trouble starting sentences is starting every sentence with "it's" or a word I know I can get over. May not be grammatically correct, but at least I'm speaking....

Emotional Story/Experiences/Dreams

Emotional Story/Experiences/Dreams I'm laying in bed here thinking where did my stutter first come from? As a child and up until 6th grade I didn't have a stutter at all, in fact I was one of the most...

Haha, it's true. It's been a problem that I've dealt for a while now. Sometimes I begin the intro to a video several times if I mess it up. Thanks!...

I really hope you are able to reach fluency, but I'm afraid your quest/obsession for fluency will only make you miserable in the long run. Most stutterers have been down this road. It's a dangerous on...

How do you girls/guys go about finding a so?

How do you girls/guys go about finding a so? I(24m) never had one, I had many show interest in me, but I have hard time showing them my personality so I just ignore them....

My stuttering gets so bad sometimes I always have that drive. But nothing works....

I'd like to know this also. I've put myself in situations all the time but I still have the same feelings afterwards. I know that I'm going to stutter, the person may look confused, and I'll block a ...

As much as i want to believe most people have some realization or moment when they realize there is another way to think, I think what you described is the general path. Can I ask how severe your st...

You know, that's an excellent question. I don't think it was a specific moment, but a collection of events in which I put myself into a situation, stuttered, and realized afterward that I survived and...

No real noticeable difference (I did engage in activities once over the weekend with my gf so results may be skewed somewhat..) so I think it might just me a placebo type thing. I don't stutter really...
