From what I understand, stutter is typically a symptom, not a standalone condition, so the treatment really varies and it's hard to research how to treat such a variable symptom...

I'm a woman with a stutter, and I'm doing absolutely tickedy-boo. We have our bad days like everyone else, but don't feel so bad!...

I can see it from both sides. 2 times in my adult life, for about 3 months each time, I was able to achieve seemingly complete fluency. Both times I went through a 3 week intensive fluency shaping pro...

Ah for pity sake… put on your big boy briefs and stop whining. I’m 71 years old (f) and I’ve stuttered my entire life. I’ve also been happily married for 37 years, have a master’s in education, taught...

I don't want to be mean but I don't think the problem is stuttering. I too have a stutter but I still have a pretty good life. Stuttering only affects you as long as you let it man....

Thanks. Yeah, it does feel horrible to open my mouth to talk, expecting things to come out normal (ie:forgetting I now stutter) and then be unable to produce a fluent sentence. Yet, I ask myself whe...

Not quite sure where youre coming from. Ive stuttered most of my life, 30 now, and still stuttering. Got a great career, military, and same group of friends that i grew up with. You shouldnt let your ...

It's very frustrating having a stutter. Everything is 10x harder. I'm 23 and i had stutter when I was 4 years old. My social skills suffer because of it. It's like having a barrier or armor, you close...

I went through this feeling all my childhood and till mid 20s. I was always thinking if i did not have stammering i would achieve so much. For some reason i never accepted stammering and always tried ...

Many years ago I worked fast food. They started me out on the fries machine, then making burgers. At first I was nervous and stuttered a lot. But working in the back kitchen with the other team, it wa...

>No matter how many times I try to stop comparing, it just keeps coming back and I genuinely don’t think there’s any possible way to stop it besides medication (if that would even work). Maybe I'm l...

Severity from 1-10 (where 10 is most severe) I was fluctuating between 6 and 4. Somehow, I made the interviews, and nobody was so focused on how but what I'm speaking about. I also noticed that 95+ pe...

Stammering affects 1 in 50 adults. Out of the 98% that don’t stutter how many light up any room? I think a lot of people who stutter imagine they would otherwise be as articulate as Obama, as funny as...

Felt this to my core, I can definitely light up a room, but depending on situation and my mental state at the time will determine how well I do. The second I stutter; I become self conscious and proba...

I worked at Tim Hortons in highschool! Front counter and drive thru. When I use my “customer service voice” I tend to stutter less. Try putting on a peppy accent. Good luck! It will be fine. I work ...

That's great to hear there's progress for you! I've never experienced fluency but I imagine it's hard to have it and then lose it....

Yo this is too real. Am 19 and I feel my stutter is getting worse or not really improving. Just started new job a couple months ago and was the same, scared shitless wasn't going to be able to talk to...

You might be able to check your local doctor, so it can give you a referral. I never know if we need to see a neurologist or a psychiatrist for that, both seems to give medicine for brain chemical imb...

I read that kid's stutter compared to teenager or adult stutters are way more manageable, and often the root cause is mechanical. Probably seeing a speech therapist could help! If it's early it migh...
