Speech anxiety? Breath-holding? I need help — I’m tired of this happening every day I really need help or advice from anyone who’s been through this. I work in cold calling (real estate) and for mont...

Wait thats lowkey smart.... I too make weird faces when stuttering...

Interesting. It made it worse for me. It seemed like a mask was an extra hindrance/annoyance that made me think even more about blocks/repetitions because I could feel it against my mouth, moving arou...

I fully agree actually. I think about this all the time. It depends on the severity of your stutter of course. Mine can be very about where I can barely get any words out, hard blocks, and lots of fac...

Hi, I also stuttered my whole life and didn’t notice any change in my stutter with TMJ, so I get that they’re not directly linked. That said, chronic tension from stuttering and facial habits over ti...

Hi, I know I’m 3 years late to the party. I was just diagnosed with TMD and I’ve had a stutter for almost 30 years, so I can relate. My jaw pain started suddenly and was confusing at first — I though...

when you're getting chased in a dream so you need to run fast but you cant. + having to throw a punch but all of your punches are in slow motion...

I don't feel like I stutter more on vowels, in fact I think I stutter less on vowels, except for TWO exceptions : - The "Au revoir"s (I'm French): sometimes I put so much pressure on myself to say i...

5 y.o. stutters but won't stop talking

5 y.o. stutters but won't stop talking Well, the title is harsh but it's true. My 5 y.o. developed a stutter after a long speech delay but won't stop talking for a second and gets agitated when strugg...

Concerned parent of 4 year old

Concerned parent of 4 year old My daughter recently turned 4 years old. Around one month ago we noticed she started stuttering, mainly on the first word of a sentence (why why why why why are you doin...

Mom to an 8 y/o child who has a stutter advice

Mom to an 8 y/o child who has a stutter advice My 8 year old son has a stutter. It started when he was 4-5 and seems to be worse when he is overtired or anxious. Sometimes he will go months without it...

Yes actually. As a dude the fix was talking in a lower, more relaxed, register. Something about my voice stops me from projecting properly in that lower voice so i learned to raise my pitch. But the h...

It rarely happens with me as well, but I think we just kinda learned to not be persistent when we speak. The blocks have to take their time, regardless of if you have to say something in the right mom...

How do you define the severity of your stutter and how does it affect you? We could all agree that severe stutter is when you can't communicate effectively and the majority of your speech is screwed. ...

ahhh! been there! we had to do presentations in front of like 6 teachers, our class and the 9th grade class whom i dont know. all of this just to get to write an english exam. i stuggled and stuttere...

Did mock with my parents, been preparing 2 for weeks. I couldn’t even say my name properly. I usually have milder stutter but this one was so severe...

Never known anyone else to "switch words" like I do 😅  Years ago I used to have trouble pronouncing words starting with K, like car, so I'd say "a whole car", as the string of words starting with A l...

My daughter was doing exactly that. Jumping or doing moves like a rodeo horse, throwing her head forward to get past blocks. Very alarming and upsetting. I’d say it went on for about 6 weeks. We emplo...

Haha the vowels made it so hard to speak, when you block you look like your choking on air...

It was a deadly fear when I heard we would be doing a reading or a verbal presentation. My ears flare up, I'm dripping sweat, my palms get sweaty, and I feel my heart in my throat....
