I used a "metronomo" for a while. I think it's metronome in english. A stuttering guy invented this way in order to speak with a rythm. In the beginning it worked, but the main problem was how to "sta...

Hiya, bit of both to be honest, I'm not too informed about the different types but I try to say a word and it's blocked I can't say it, and then I repeat it too!...

I need help

I need help Hi everyone, I’ve led myself down a path to where I currently have no friends. I live in England and am in college. During free periods, break and lunch I spend my time alone with only my ...

I think that the silence part before you said roberta is what i would call a block and i would call what you did with the r sound "rrrrr" a prolongation...

What is this called? I tried saying the name Roberta and it came out as *silence* followed by "Rrrrrrroberta" It felt like I was choking and I stopped and tried again and couldn't get it out, then it ...

The problem is there is a difference between regular disfluencies in speech and dysfluencies in disordered stuttering speech, then being able to differentiate between them. Anyway, good luck....

Yes exactly. My breathing becomes so limited. I just hate talking sometimes. Even though i'm actually extroverted. I wish well for all of us in this battle...

Mine does as well, and a lot of my friends who stutter have a similar thing- during blocks our breathing feels limited. You’re definitely not alone in this regard....

That's how things go with me as well lol. I usually start fine but then it gets worse. I usually ran out of breath though and once that happens, I start stuttering so make sure to breath and give your...

Yes, I can. Depending on how anxious I'm feeling will determine if I continue talking or not. What I really hate is when I complete a sentence without stuttering, only to have the person I'm speaking ...

Does anyone sometimes stutter when trying to mouth words?

Hmmm no it’s not worse around my parents or friends, it’s usually worse when I am nervous tho (so when I’m talking to someone in a position of authority, but for some reason I don’t block if I don’t r...

Bro it's exactly the same for me, also never stuttered at my speech therapist, also almost don't block in groups/with friends in general Do you also block more with some people than others?, When talk...

Yes! Funny story - was on the other side of the world in a loud drum and bass/hip hop club with some other traveller, just met him. I leaned in to say something as you do in a loud bar and totally bl...

You block instead of having repetitions or prolongations because your urge to not stutter or let anyone hear any kind of stutter is so great it won't let you risk making any sound. This is something y...

I have a question for you and u/Wise_Weather_4647 - have you found anything to help with this? I have the exact same thing, under pressure or anxiety or elevated HR makes me block. It's the only "stut...

I only have "blocks" not stutters. I do not block when I am calm (at all), I can talk one on one with someone for hours and maybe have 1 or 2 blocks (but I typically am able to choose an alternate word fast enough for this to not be a problem).

Do you find you stutter more when in a loud (perhaps hyper stimulating?) environment?

Do you find you stutter more when in a loud (perhaps hyper stimulating?) environment? I was ordering from Subway yesterday and when I was in line at the cafeteria (on campus) it was very loud and I a...

I wish I had the answer. I have a hard enough time just saying “hello?” most days. Phone anxiety is a struggle....
