anyone else get this kind of block? This is kind of a pointless post, just curious if anyone else experiences this. Normally a block is like…you’re trying to push a word out and it feels like someth...

Dirty humor lol

Dirty humor lol I’m a woman. When I stutter, specifically when I’m rushing myself, I have tsks (which often have me literally sticking my tongue out afterwards in the mirror). It seems I have marks/sc...

How can I stop this severe stutter at least a bit?

How can I stop this severe stutter at least a bit? So I've been stuttering for all my life, it was a big problem for me but as of recently its gotten much worse, for about 2 months now I've had many m...

Have you tried relaxing your face and mouth muscles instead of tensing them as well as taking a deep breath before speaking. That might help if you practice enough...

I do believe that intensive speech therapy can help you overcome this condition to an extent. I have gotten to the point where I can "mask" my stutter in conversation with others & during interviews, ...

VENT

VENT I’m a freshman high school student and an international student. I know I might seem a bit young for this community, but I just need to vent. At this age where socializing is everything, my stu...

Whenever I stutter my head starts to move automatically. After that I take a few seconds of break and breathe, then start speaking normally. Which type of stutter is this?...

Has anyone encountered TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems, including hidden ones? (I am writing through a translator) In some stutterers, this is observed in a hidden form, mainly hidden clicks, s...

Man, u have a problem that u should work on it. There is no time for worrying about mockery .believe me, I know what u feel every time someone mocked or even bullied you . And as a person who was mock...

for me the key difference is whether it's affecting your voice, or other parts you you physically i.e. heavy blinks/face scrunching, body movements, trouble breathing, etc. in an effort to get the wor...

Oh wow. I appreciate your thoughtful response. I would be PISSED if someone fell asleep on me mid sentence.. yet I am envious of your brother’s ability to conk out so fast. It comes out mostly whe...

First of all, I just want to say I'm sorry you had to go through something like that. As someone who has stuttered since childhood I have experienced this at every stage of life. Now, in my 40's I ha...

Yeah, I had a (sometimes) severe block stutter throughout my primary school years (4 to 12). It was very painful to just talk, not only that, but I hit things to just let the word come out....

Relatable, coming from a moderate-severe stutter. Another thing I hate is that people treat stuttering like it’s so easy to cure. And you’re right about the celebrities. The only celebrity I know t...

unfortunately nothing solves stuttering. I also substitute a lot but in some cases there is no substitution. as I said try the soft onset technique, it does help for this type of stutter, for example...

I 100% agree. I actually posted about this a couple weeks ago if you wanna read it. My stutter is extremely severe to the point where I’m almost mute. I have speech blocks that can last up to 30 secon...

Thank you for the reply. It is indeed so exhausting after all the struggle to get the words out. About the technique, the sounds are so difficult to say without breathing, substituting and so on. Ther...

Yes, we're not alone in this, but we may at times feel like we're the only ones dealing with this because everyone around us may seem to be perfect (language fluency). I feel bad for not being able to...

learning the hard way
