Heyy ❤️❤️ how old are you btw? I’m 24f and I just want to let you know I’m dealing with the same exact thing as well. With me though is that I had a stutter when I was little and had speech therapy in...

Yes, I gained total fluency in English, my native language but stutter slightly when speaking Spanish. I guess it’s the added stress in translation in my head. I rarely need to speak Spanish but in th...

Has anyone had medication help their stutter?

Has anyone had medication help their stutter? I’ve been a lifelong stutter. I’m 41. To me, it feels like a surge of anxiety and energy (difficult to explain) that completely locks up my speech. I’ve b...

Mine seem to be bursts of anxiety that pretty much lock up trying to say anything. I’m prescribed Valium which lasts about two weeks and is the only reprieve I’ve ever experienced in a life long of st...
