Something That Has Helped Me

Something That Has Helped Me Hello y'all, I've been lurking at your posts for quite sometime now, so I decided to give my 2 cents. When I talk to myself I speak fluently, but in public I'm more pron...

Yes, I deal with this often. Residual ticks and twitching can come as a result of trying to force your way through a block. I did damage to my jaw a few years ago with a bad twitch. I remember back in...

I am 40 now. I had a very severe stutter as a kid. As I got older it went to severe until about my early - mod 20s, and as I learned to accept it, it now varies from mild to severe. Like you said, b...

Does have brief moments of "severe stutter" - the ones you used to have?

Does have brief moments of "severe stutter" - the ones you used to have? I was diagnosed with stuttering when I was 5. It wasn't easy (as you all know) and my most difficult time was when I was around...

Thank you ❤️ Yes I’ve tried FaceTime and I am far more fluent. If I’m talking to someone face to face, my stutter will be considerably mild. Only when I am talking over the phone is when my anxiety ki...

My wife does not understand why I avoid going through the drive thru. I hate talking with people I do not know without seeing their face. It makes me stutter even more....

Glad for you, but have you ever been in situation when you where you find yourself in a strong block and can't get out of it? I know no one cares about presentation I give, but often I say only one wo...

Do you feel like you stutter freely with a PWS? I always try hard to not stutter when talking to a person without a stutter but it leads me to feeling mentally exhausted....

Yeah, me too. I stutter more when I'm with a fellow PWS. Not their fault. Maybe it is a "they won't judge me" kinda feeling but, with me it gets difficult to deal with 2 stutters at a time. Again, not...

Yes, many stutters experiences shortness of breath but that's to do with the response of the body to the situation of encountering a stutter (physical blocking by the body). I don't think it's asthma ...

I have blocks more than I actually stutter and this is one thing that has helped me. I stop myself from trying to force out the word, take a deep breathe and as I’m exhaling start a low hum into whate...

It fluctuates, there's day where we talk and I stutter and there's days where I don't stutter as much. Sometimes I'll even go a day without talking to him even though we live in the same house. It's...
