Stuttering, stress, and breathing

Stuttering, stress, and breathing Hello all, I had huge stuttering issues as a young child. So much so that they almost sent me to special school. After years of therapy and working hard at it, I g...

Thanks for sharing your story homie. Here's mine. I have been stuttering ever since I can remember. From kindergarten til third grade, I went to speech therapy. But I had other issues with my speech...

Archie, where are you from or where are you going to school now?...

I was just trying to give a brief over view of the general idea, but i'll try to answer these: 1. I think the main way would be, not getting them smashed. The is the main issue with using alcohol. Lu...

I completely agree, I couldn't think of any legal substances I could get over the counter to produce the same effects, I might have to look around. The other thing is, some of those will make people d...

Commenting for later. I'll share my story after work, it is quite similar to yours! Edit: Here I am. So, I also have a stutter since I was a child (am 22 now, in third year of university). I pl...

Exactly. Generally, if something makes you more comfortable, it reduces your stutter. But alcohol can go both ways in my experience. It sometimes makes me stutter way worse than before. It really de...

Captain, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry about how you were treated. I wasn't treated that bad, but I was made fun of a lot when I was younger. Do you stutter a lot less now that you've been taking anti...

I don't stutter at all when I drink, but I stutter a lot when I don't. I remember before I ever started drinking, I was a pretty competent speaker all the time, and when I started drinking, I stuttere...

Where are you located? I could try to get you in touch with a help group maybe. Or if you're looking to get advice about dealing with interviews from people here, you could Skype with the willing. My ...

Just wanted to drop by and say hi. Thank you for sharing your story. Here is my story. I began to stutter around 4th grade when I moved to a different school 2/3 of the way into the school year. I gu...

Just opening up about stuttering.

Just opening up about stuttering. Hey guys, my name is Archie. I've had a stutter all my life, it developed from a stammer to mostly blocks. I never talk about it with anyone and thought it would help...

you're going to run into a couple problems -- 1) Intoxication produces more than one change (thus you have inextricably linked dependent variables): alcohol impairs motor control (particularly coord...

What helped reduce my stuttering was getting prescribed to citalopram (generic Celexa, ssri), it took about two months to take into full effect but it lessened the anxiety that came on whenever I tal...

I would be happy to participate. Alcohol does nothing to change my stutter. I stutter all the same. ...

I think we're in the same boat. I can recall situations where I've been initially nervous, got a little tipsy, and had my speech improve as I forget how nervous I was. The same thing happens as I get ...

Sure. When I'm buzzed, I block up and can't say a thing. When I'm mildly drunk, I laugh at everything and can talk slightly better than usual. When I'm stumbling drunk, I slur and talk fine (I think)....

I think you need to be clear that its not ethanol that is making people's stutters better, it is the fact that they are intoxicated and less nervous when speaking to other people. You will see the sam...

I'm genuinely interested in participating, I have a clear idea of how alcohol has effected my speech....
