Anyone's stutter getting worse for no reason?

Anyone's stutter getting worse for no reason? Hi fellow stutterers! I have had it since I was 3. In a way, I am like this since my earliest recollection. Like everyone who stutters, mine ebbs and flo...

I find myself covering my face or mouth when I block, or averting eye contact. It’s such a helpless awful feeling....

I think possibly, my jaw started getting stiffer when i was 16 and have had a pretty stiff jaw since then. Can’t say for certain as though as i don’t think there’s been much research on this My stutt...

Stutter and bruxism (bruxia or jaw tension)

Stutter and bruxism (bruxia or jaw tension) So I started stuttering pretty badly like one year ago (im 16 in few days). I also have bruxism for a bit longer than that and its quite severe as I broke a...

Yes and no, i realize im doing it when its happening and i can actively stop doin any of my secondaries by just stopping talking. But in the moment of mid-stutter when im just trying to get the sound ...

If i were to rank them by most frequent to least frequently occuring it would be: lip pinching by far, then quick inhales, then eye rolling, then turning away from people while talking. Im not bot...

Huh. I wonder if the two are connected in some way? I personally noticed I started stuttering with my hands while writing when I was around 14 or 15. I didn’t start verbally stuttering until 17 or 18....

I have the same exact thing too. I’ll often stutter when trying to write 3’s or W’s. I think this may be common with many people who stutter. Has this hand stutter just started happening to you recent...

I see. And do you have secondaries? Sorry for asking this again but I could not determine the answer to this from your answer...

Also people say everyone stutters differently. What is yours like, if I may ask? Like do you have any secondaries or something like that?...

I am not a stutterer but since many people who stutter have said it is bad for them and I don't want to offend anyone I would not finish the words. Also, how bad is your case? I mean how bad blocks an...

I'd say I block but consciously turn it into repetitions as a coping technique. I'd also say I only really have one secondary, but only under certain circumstances. Sometimes I close my eyes, particu...

I see. I do not stutter myself but I am interested in the topic. And do you have the blocking or repetitive kind? Or any secondaries? I am curious, sorry if the questions are private, I am still new h...

The one I remember most came about four to five years ago, in chemistry class. Before Easter holiday, we had been learning about a purification process called recrystallization. When we got back fro...

My jaw and lips tend to tense up in a block. It makes getting the word out harder so I try to pause and start over....

If block not repetition. My eyes close and face tenses. I have been trying to be conscious about not doing this but its so very hard....
