4.2g of potassium citrate which is 1.6g of actual potassium (38%). Since this post, I've further narrowed down that my root cause is high dopamine consumption. It causes me to always be relaxed and l...

I'm quite sensitive to overstimulation but I'm not sure if that's because of my stammer, neurodivergence, or something else. But it does make my stammer worse because I need to be able to concentrate ...

Hypersensitivity with a stammer?

Hypersensitivity with a stammer? Do you find that being someone with a stammer makes you more sensitive to overstimulation? I work in an open concept office environment, and I find it drains me to p...

Thank you for that. That makes a lot more sense now. What's interesting for me personally is that I have an identical twin. If this is an issue with the brain why does he not also stutter then? Is t...

Literally why is that it’s so crazy. I’ve tested this so many times where I start soft and slowly increase the volume of my speech and without fail there is some point where the stuttering monster wak...

Is it common to feel a numbness in the muscles around your mouth? I noticed whenever I am having blocks or trouble speaking the muscles around my mouth tend to be tense or numb. This feeling is prono...

Sometimes I don’t know but, especially after the first of a particularly bad lot, every instance afterwards feels inevitable and I know it is going to happen. It is like being set on fire or suffoca...

Arab here. When I speak فصحى I speak much fluently (still not perfect). English is also more fluent but I still struggle with some sentences (not as bad as when I speak in dialect). Stutter is like...

Does anyone have any tips/advice for me?

Does anyone have any tips/advice for me? # Hi everyone When I'm alone and talking to myself, my speech is near perfect. But that changes completely when I have to talk to people. Last week, I had to ...

Onion rings

Onion rings For the most part I can speak pretty clearly. I can use filler words to say what I want or even if I repeat myself I eventually get the word out but damn I’m fucking 27 it’s January 1st 20...

I’ve been feeling like I’m falling back into old habits as well, but mine is definitely stress induced. Working two retail jobs around Christmas and worrying about college will do that lol. Hopefully ...

What’s your most embarrassing moment? (If you feel like sharing)

What’s your most embarrassing moment? (If you feel like sharing) Mine was back in 2015 and I had a job interview with target for a warehouse position that a desperately needed at the time and little d...

Yeah, Lexapro helped a bit. I went into conversations without worrying about my stutter for the first time in years. I wasn't 100% fluent, but I was much better. However, I was only on it for 3 months...

I hear this all the time, no matter how confident I am it's a guarantee I'll run into some blocks. But it's all about stuttering comfortably, of course I'm going to stutter but using some of the techn...

they anti-depressants, which means they make you more active. they do the opposite of lowering the anxiety. I take them for another problem and they don't help with the speaking. depressants help ...

I still stutter saying thank you but this doesn't stop me by saying it. I've made a deal with myself that I don't care how much I stutter and once I stop caring about what others think my confidence r...

Fun Fact: I actually stutter more after somebody tells me to Not worry and be confident....
