Sry bout my attitude then, I can see that you're in a pretty dark place right now and I'm sure that most people on this sub can relate. It might hold you back in life, don't let it control it as well....

Of course not. I'm speaking for myself. If I could have chosen to not to be born I would take it. I admire stutterers who are positive about their speech and life in general. The people who carry on n...

Informal therapy back in grade school. I guess you could say that I was a covert stutterer up until about a year ago. Now I fully stutter (even around my family which is a bit weird). I'm available ju...

Cool, another condescending diatribe. You seem more interested in elevating yourself above those who disagree with you then actually having a reasonable discussion. Seems a bit sad, but whatever get...

I'm just going to repost my response to another poster. It's not a current project. It's a lifelong project and a commitment. It's a state of mind. It's viewing stuttering holistically. It's a...

You didn't answer the question. I don't get the chicken-egg reference. I don't know where you got it into your head that speaking more will cure stuttering. Thats such a simplistic way of thinking...

I do. Every single day. The thing is I started stuttering pretty late, like when I was about 14 years old. I remember being a "fluent" person. I remember being able to tell stories and jokes, speak on...

First of all, before you speak, take an inhalation and speak while you exhale. I learnt this technique in speech therapy. Always think time is in your control, don't rush and push yourself to speak at...

I'm the same way. One thing that helps me sometimes(I stress, sometimes) is I focus my breath. It's a technique I learned learning meditation and I find it can help to relax and kind of bring me back ...

Tension is my enemy - suggestions?

Tension is my enemy - suggestions? So, my stutter is that I hold my breath, mainly at the beginning of a statement. Once I get going, I'm fine. When I relax and not think about my speech, I'm good. ...
