Since you don't have access to good speech therapy, be your own therapist. Do research, practice speaking, record it and play it back to yourself, take notes on the stutter and ways to improve it, etc...

It is indeed a disadvantage. Like a missing limb. Has cbt worked for you? Cognitive behavioral therapy? Just forcing positive affirmation until it becomes natural? That and some weed and introspection...

The thing is communication is very important in our life. And we will suffer as long as we live, and we will always feel somehow disadvantaged....

When you'll get used to it after some practice, live will become just a little bit easier (in terms of your ability to speak)....

When your stutter forces you to reject a brilliant Christmas gift... Hey everyone, I'm sorry that my first post is a vent but I just have to get it off me. Oh and English isn't my first language, so p...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I've been trying so hard to reinvent myself and get out of my shell because my future relies on me being outgoing and charismatic, I can't be that if I harbo...

I work retail and my stutter is really bad (blockages, repetitions, drawn out sounds frequently and sometimes multiple times per sentence) yet I have more positive experiences than negative. You can g...

All my life I've been quiet. Even around friends, I became much more shy in my later years of high school as I became more conscious of my voice. Then, I met a boy. He's a pretty standard rich white b...

I havent met anyone with a stutter and im so grateful that this thread exists I am 17yo male with not so bad stutter, i block on maybe half my words and sometimes i get that repetition of syllables (t...

I’ll start by saying that its my opinion that you shouldn’t let the stutter hold you back. If somebody won’t hire you for a job involving lots of talking, fine, but don’t limit yourself in life based ...

Legally it's a disability because it limits functionally one's life. However, I've accepted it and stopped fighting it. As for job interviews, I always self disclose and it has proven very effect...

I’m so sorry that stuttering has been this debilitating. It sounds like mine isn’t as severe as yours, but when mine flares up it can be similar. I’ve done several presentations to just a teacher or T...

stuttering sucks. i'm 19 (m) and stuttering is completely ruining off my life in every imaginable way. i also have an awful severe stutter , it's always there , never goes away. I tried to do two pres...

Yep! It often takes me days to do something that requires a phone call because of the combination of a) finding time in business hours and b) psyching myself up to do it. My hairdresser for example ge...

I consider it a disability because it physically and emotionally affects me and others, however, I have learned to cope with it and to not let my stutter get in the way of being successful. Of course ...

It doesn't really matter what we think, in terms of definition. What matters are the regulations in your area. In my country, a speech handicap classifies as a disability, and measures can be granted...

I'd consider it a mild disability. Doing things that others find easy is more difficult - depending upon severity you might consider certain things not really possible. "a physical or mental conditio...

Anybody else a little frustrated that you can't use Alexa, Siri, Okay Google, etc.? Me: Alexa, play W-w-w-w-w-alking on a dream Alexa: Playing waa waa...

People just don’t understand man, I feel that so much. Honestly I’ve struggled a lot with that so I started to start my own company where I’m the one in charge, no rude comments from the boss and so o...

Have to go to court and speak to a judge I got into a car accident and I have to go to court if I want to avoid having points on my license. No big deal for someone who doesn’t stutter, but for me I’m...
