I highly suspect anxiety could have a lot to do with it, whether consciously or subconsciously. I’m hoping to be able to get therapy and possibly medication sometime this year and hope that that will ...

I'm not saying you're trying to diagnose me or anything, but it probably is a thing I could be diagnosed with if I saw a professional about it. But I wouldn't like it. I am 100% open to suggestions i...

My only goal in bringing up PTSD was to explain that very impactful stuttering is a form of PTSD. This will help you understand why you only stutter in certain situations. And I have a few completel...

If that's the case, I probably could be diagnosed with PTSD but I wouldn't accept the medical term, I just don't suit it or fit it imo. I probably should see a therapist but I'm not even sure what it...

By now I'm doing great with my psychologist because my stutter has a lot of emotions attached and I still don't know how to deal with them. In the future I think I may visit a speech therapist but h...

Stuttering is a horrible disability that affects all aspects of our lives. It is a physical (neurological) problem. One thing to do is look into psychological counseling as to how to live with a dis...

I got thick skin for everything, except once it comes to stuttering. Roast me all you want I'll genuinely laugh, but mock the stuttering and it stings. Maybe cause there quite a bit of trauma associat...
