Yup, I am noticing that I am more fluent when I am overly happy or excited. I can go for mins speaking clearly, it's always a pleasure when that happens. I wish I could control that emotion and re-pr...

Couldn't agree more. Deal with stuttering by being kind, patient, and awesome. That doctor and nurse who dealt with their stuttering negatively are not doing it right....in fact...they're probably mak...

Well, maybe you're just being too harsh on yourself somehow. Being a stutterer certainly doesn't require you to fail your speech constantly, in order to "deserve" the label. All you can do is be glad ...

I used to use word substitutions and whispering (lots and lots of whispering). Now I don't. But when I get those moments of how I used to talk (fluent but with tricks) I still feel like I'm somehow de...

When i explain my trials with stuttering to someone, I am always fluent for some weird reason. And like clockwork, the first thing the other person says is, "see, you are fluent now". It isn't how th...
