Feeling helpless and frustrated and tired

Feeling helpless and frustrated and tired I’ve had a stutter since I was a child and I gradually got over it until about 8 months ago. It’s come back into my life with a vengeance. It’s been so bad th...

When you're talking to others, you're *communicating*, in addition to just speaking.   When you talk to yourself, you already know your message well in advance - it was already in your hea...

Yes that's an option, and I already appreciate this. Although it's not really about the time I guess.. I like to compare it to my girlfriend who has a deep fear of spiders (I don't want to call it Ara...

I feel your pain. I like to let out a deep sigh when something like that happens and I just try to forget about it. Think about it. How many memories of stuttering can you think of in the past couple ...

I don't stutter. A friend who does once set me this challenge. It's the first and only moment I've been really able to imagine how it feels, even for an instant. Because, like your wife, the challenge...

My difficulty ordering food made me complain to my school's Accessibility Website I know some people may not agree with what I did, but here it goes. I go to a University and I often have trouble orde...

I do consider it as a disability and I'm sure we'd all be much better off without it. Having said that, a lot of people come to terms with their stuttering and live their lives fully inspite of it. Wo...

I do consider it a disability; however it is very circumstantial. All stutterers are different. ...

IANAL, but have had fairly extensive HR training, and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) does recognize speech impediments as a disability. I don't think it has the severity of some disabilitie...

It's defined as a disability in many countries, yes. It'll of course vary in severity, but the precedence is there....

It's kind of a disability but the problem is that every stammerer is different to some extent. Some are less stammer and some are not. Unlike other disability e.g, blind. You can say he/she a disable ...

For me, if I'm blocking on a word, I'm not going to get it. I restart my sentence (or part of my sentence) and try to push through it. The issue is that this is a coping mechanism as they say in SLP (...

I can carry on conversations with some people with minimal issues. I do stutter at home but it is certainly not nearly as frequent or severe. The social anxiety side of things makes it worse so I nor...

Awesome! I also joined a debating club, in University. Just read your post (yes, I read very quickly, my speaking's a different story), couldn't agree more man. I'd go a step forward and say 'curing' ...

Thinking about getting a cleaning job

Thinking about getting a cleaning job I block, a lot. It makes my current job challenging and anxiety-producing. I'm worried about my mental health. I have been considering becoming a janitor or work ...

You have a disability. You need to accept it. I know acceptance is hard, but it doesn't mean it's permanent or that it can't be managed, but for now you have a serious health issue which significantly...

What happens after your block? Are you fluent? I think self disclosure is important, even if it’s via the Stuttering Foundation’s “I stutter” card. If you can’t change it or cure it, you have to f...
