Hi there, let me first say that I'm sorry that you feel this way. I read your story and everything is SO recognizable. I'm 45 years old. I tried controlling it for 45 years but I just can't. I've go...

Since you’re trying to write a character, I think it’s very important to try to understand the mind of a stutterer. You may have specific situations in mind that you want to write into your story, but...

I'm not a PWS, but some issues that I've come across are: -not dating someone whose name is too hard -ordering something you don't want because it's too hard to say the right thing -people thinking...

Just a vent about the two things I hate most about having a stutter

Just a vent about the two things I hate most about having a stutter 1) I hate that I sometimes don’t order what I want to eat, especially at the drive thru. If someone’s in the car and I’m ordering fo...

You are totally right it is much easier said than done. And everyone's approach to it is different. When I was in speech therapy we did a lot of live practicing. Literally call actual places and ask...

I used to be a cashier. And I would have a couple of phrases ready in my head. So just in case I feel like Im about to stutter, I can say a different sentence instead. For example, We had to ask custo...

I'm reading a book where the author used to stutter during his youth, and he started using something called speech 'crutches' to get through some of these conversations. He mentioned 8-9 crutches that...

^This has been my route since I was a kid. It helps especially if you read a lot and learn different words that are easier to sound out and still get the message across....

I love your comment so much, I can’t even tell you. I JUST got diagnosed like a week ago. I went totally gluten free last Friday. I feel like CRAP. Like, zero improvement. I’m taking two naps a day pl...

Oh I totally feel you. If it were me, I’d have to say something like “I’m diabetic,” and then add “type 1” later lol...

Whoa, a fellow stuttering celiac! We won the genetic lottery I guess. For what it's worth, I've found that I've only been safe eating at totally gluten-free restaurants. Helps with the thousand quest...

I totally feel your pain and quite frankly it can feel demoralizing at times. It can be difficult to explain to people just how terrible it feels to not be able to speak freely. I try to explain to th...

Not able to say the words I want is worse than a nightmare.

I totally get this. I find it real hard to start a conversation with people when I’m experiencing a bad speech day. Like I can literally sit beside someone at lunch and not be able to initiate a conve...
