Well I stuttered since I was a child.. at 35 it's mostly gone. It mostly stopped when I was 17 (and it probably sounds crazy) but after a potent hit of LSD it diminished by about 70%. I did not do LSD...

I have no scientific evidence either way, but I have an understanding of OCD (know someone very well who has OCD on a scale that varies to not much of a problem most of the time, to unable to function...

Is there a connection between stuttering and OCD?

Is there a connection between stuttering and OCD? ...

I just got tired of it. I got tired of being the victim; the fish going into the shark tank; the quivering sinner awaiting judgment by an all-mighty God. It's not an easy switch to make and my experie...

Wow, I didn't expect to find a fellow speedskater in this subreddit. Speedskating is such a great way to forget everything. It's just the music in your ear an the swoosh of your wheels. I compete in ...

It's considered a Learning Disability in Canada....

I would say as a generalization- yes it is. I mean it disables us from clear and fluent communication and impedes us from speaking altogether at times. Whether it is a psychological or physical disabi...

You're right, but how did you get past the fearful mindset? The fear of stuttering is so much worse than stuttering itself, but im really struggling to get past the 'fear' mindset. When I feel confid...

You can't live like this. You can't thrive with such a fearful mindset. Aren't you just over it by now? We're the same age, and I've done my share of presentations and I've fought against this mindset...

It would probably help somewhat with disfluency. It would likely help a LOT with struggle....

If we're dealing with something terminological/definitional here, it'd depend on that specific context. But outside of that, I'd absolutely say that stuttering is a disability. It's just not certain ...

I have a severe stutter and for me it is. The severity doesn't always say much about whether it's a disability or not. A mild covert stutterer with a lot of speech anxiety can class it as disability t...

If it affects your ability to communicate, and if it stops you from being able to do basic activities, then yes. Like if you are unable to make phone calls or answer questions in class. Mine is very m...

I'll complete a fluent sentence without prior thought, stop after and say to myself.... "Well that was easy. Why can't I do that all the time?" When I don't think about it....I don't stutter...which i...

Definitely. I get the same way if I get TOO high. Then I just start overthinking how I'm speaking, and it makes me more self conscious. I would say the method of smoking makes the difference. I ha...

This. I had downloaded the app awhile back, and it works just fine with a bluetooth earpiece I have. So essentially, to everyone, it looks like I have a hands free bluetooth earbud because I may have ...

Is it the same with alcohol? My speech is way more fluent when I'm drinking but that probably has to do with the liquid confidence part of it. Does it matter the strain or potency of the weed? I get p...

Blocks are hard....that being said, from what I've read/experienced, blocks are generally the result of anticipating that you'll stutter and just trying "force" the sound out. So, not an easy fix for ...

Practice, practice, practice. Practice in front of people. Read your speech while taking a bath. Drink some chamomile tea and get a good night sleep. Remember when you are blocking don't keep pushin...

Getting stoned. No lie. I find I'm able to formate sentences better, and am not as rushed, and have less anxiety...
