Ah yes! I’m very good at endurance but because I hold my breath when I run I always last less than 30 secs xD...

I understand the feeling of being made fun of and it really doesn’t feel great. What I would recommend is to practice talking by yourself. Practice pronouncing every word when you’re most comfortable ...

Yea at my high school I sitter severely to the point where my face twitchs and the word won't come out, but so far it only happens when I talk freely during class not during presentations that's becau...

I used to stutter with so much struggle and physical force that i wasn’t even breathing. Funny to one day realize that, wow what I’m doing isn’t helping at all but actually making this harder. ...

I experienced what you described as a result of weight gain lol However in a conversation when I forget to take deep breadth and stutter, it leaves me out of breadth....

I have not been to therapy, but I feel you on this. I just hate how on some days, I can speak so fluently with my friends and family, but on days when I have presentations or when I'm speaking with pe...

I've been in and out of speech therapy and I could only practice fluency with the therapist. I tried using strategies outside of therapy, but I feel like my anxiety would force my disfluency. The st...

Thanks for sharing. How severe was your stutter before consuming the supplements? Did your doctor elaborate why those might be beneficial? If it’s much to do with muscle tension in the vocal cords th...

Whenever I have a word block I always get this stupid urge to stop mid sentence and mumble ‘sorry I can’t even speak today. Did I mention I stutter sometimes? *awkward laugh* just so people don’t thin...

I feel as though my throat clenches up, and all of a sudden I need to take a deep breath. The breathing could be a coping mechanism though. My hands stay frozen in whatever position they are at that m...

I absolutely agree with nukefudge , stuttering is not to be blamed on the stutterer. Its not his fault , he isnt doing it voluntarily. But what i meant was to reduce the tension in stuttering to the m...

I tend to look away from someone when I do. And my mouth kinda freezes up. It’s weird but I can’t help it for the most part. ...

I have a bit of twitch in my right eye which I really hate. Normally people can't tell I stutter due to all of my substitutions and not speaking at certain times but with my twitch I just look a bit w...
