Someone doing the most right here. thank you for helping. Like, what if my brain can't "just slow down" what then. Stuttering may be incurable for many of us but it's not as though it's TERMINAL. the...

I argue that **forgetting that I stutter** could lead to: * not paying attention on stuttering * not commenting on, overthinking or overreacting to stuttering, but also not on fluency * positive effe...

>If I were able to forget I stuttered, would it go away? **Question #1:** What is your opinion? I mean, do you think stuttering goes away if you forget that you stutter? In my opinion, yes and no...

I'm going to join this opinion based on my personal experience. I was also against even mentioning that I'm stuttering to somebody else, but after talking with others in our local self help group an...

Honestly I've struggle with the idea of giving a preamble since High School and i never did. I've always been of the mindset of 'struggle through the stuttering, and make up for the stuttering with to...

Yes indeed, I’ve been pretty fluent the past couple months. I was overthinking the pronunciation for the food ‘gyro’ and hit a block when I went to say it, at that moment I likely could’ve shit myself...

Had my first stutter in awhile ordering food today 😂 gave me an opportunity to laugh even though I almost shit pants in the moment...

I successfully hid my stutter by giving up talking or flat out lying. (Ordering food I hated, using my middle name, pretending to forget etc) The laughs of others can be legitimate nervous laughter...

For reference, many many SLP do not even know the true depth of a complex dysfluency. I don’t know about you, but I *spent* most of my time trying to hide my stutter. I got very good at this (mostly...

Sadly, I can relate ti every single single thing you have said. My stammer holds me back from being my true authentic self around people. The bitterness and anger I feel about this is eating me up. I ...

This is literally the truth, the answer. But it’s hard to find a safe space to stutter, you know? At work, around friends, it’s hard to let yourself stutter....

Stuttering and adderall

Stuttering and adderall I’ve stuttered since I was a kid but the worst for me was speech blocks. I totally stopped with speech blocks from ages 14-30. I was prescribed adderall from 10-14, but quit ta...

Ugh I've experienced this before, didn't understand how I could be fine for months saying an introduction on the phone not being able to at all. I did these 2 little hacks that helped me through it th...

This is all very classic impactful dysfluency (blocking, esp on things you have to say, like your name). A hard silent block is based on fear of people hearing your repetitions, imperfections - the ...

customer service job for a few months and that little “good afternoon thank you for calling… my name is…” introduction is, somehow, getting worse?

customer service job for a few months and that little “good afternoon thank you for calling… my name is…” introduction is, somehow, getting worse? it’s been five months since i (begrudgingly) got a jo...

Should I reveal to everyone that I have speech-language problems?

Should I reveal to everyone that I have speech-language problems? My family suggests to hide these problems because no one hires me if they knows. Yes, it's true. These employers have candidates who d...

I think it's quicker and easier to just say a few words that you have said many times before that you know you won't stutter on. I have a hard time with "new" words that I wouldn't normally use in my ...

Hi, Now with all my experience with the stuttering I got this feeling that stuttering is a bigger problem for the stutter and not for other people. But what they don’t release is that stuttering is n...

Edit - you should read my comment again and see you completely missed the point! Pretty much every sentence suggested that repetitions are normal/fine, and blocks are the real problem. I have tips...

This is the kind if thing that may feel great in the moment, but will be detrimental in the long run. The equivalent to eating a whole pizza in one sitting. Dysfluency, especially blocking gets wo...
