Update: Still feeling great, my stuttering came back a little bit because of some stress in my life, but I still feel more calm and under control than usual...

I dreaded school for the same reason. It was rough but ultimately we have to get through these situations, it’s just the nature of life. I freeze up saying my name as well and it’s absolutely the wors...

Thank you! And I’m happy to provide any input you need. To answer your question, Caffeine (hadn’t done any in months) made it drastically worse coincidentally on the day of a presentation. Cannabi...

I’m from the US but I live in the Netherlands. It’s very difficult trying to not stutter during social interactions, remembering the right words/grammar, and trying to pronounce things correctly....

Claro te entiendo, en situaciones estresantes o en donde se involucren algunos factores emocionales/psicologicos, podemos entorpecer nuestra habla o empeorarla. Lo mismo me suele suceder en algunas oc...

La mía depende extremadamente del contexto. Cuando me siento confiado se me hace casi imperceptible y ni siquiera diría que me entorpece. Pero con un mínimo de tensión ya me cuesta un poco de trabajo ...

Hola Susanna, cuanto tiempo. Entiendo que tengas dificultades. Pero esa ansiedad subyace de la tartamudez o es algo inherente a ella?...

I stutter more when I speak in a different language. I am convinced it is purely due to increased anxiety....

The root cause of my silence blocks?

The root cause of my silence blocks? Silence blocks. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with speaking. It only looks like it is a speech problem. In my opinion, we developed a fear of saying somethi...

Magnesium

Magnesium I’ve seen a few posts and commenting here suggesting magnesium to aid stuttering and wanted to share my experience. For background, I’m 20 and I’ve stuttered since I was about 6. It’s geneti...

1. Doesn’t matter, unlikely to tie it to an event. 2. This is unique to the individual. 3. Sure based on stress. Ex. Emotional conversation, perceived authority. Fear of having to say a particular ...

I’m 52, have overcome stuttering and I’m still not 100% sure of why I started. I started in the 4th grade. I grew up with a lot fear and anxiety in our household, maybe that was it? I don’t see any re...

As long as we make stuttering a battle it seems to get worse. I was a pro athlete and tried bringing the same mentality to overcoming stuttering, it failed miserably and actually would worsen. It’s mo...

This is kind of turning into a “who has it worse” thread and I think discussions like this could not be more redundant. You see this debate in all corners of reddit and it never goes anywhere because ...

1. I dont know why people are writing NA for this btw haha. Its either random or from birth or from whatever. For me I remember it from birth 2. Vowels are tough for me. Say anything starting with an ...

1. I stutter since birth. Don't really know the cause, no one in my family stutters. 2. I have trouble with vowels (I'm a Spanish/Italian speaker). 3. It gets worse at random, but I think it varies ba...

1. N/A 2. I have the most trouble with L's and P's. One thing i noticed is that usually pws have trouble with the first letter of their name (mine starts with L so that's that) 3. There are bad days...

1. I know i was in a couple of car accidents/incidents when I was a baby. One while my mom was still pregnant with me. The other probably less than a year old. Could have had brain trauma. Not 100 per...

When we are angry, or passionate, we tend to be expressing our authentic selves. When we are anxious we are at odds with ourselves, meaning there is some inner conflict and we are not in tune with our...

No, if I'm having a block and force myself to talk, I'll lose my voice. Similarly to how if you scream enough you lose your voice...
