This is a crossroads many covert stutterers reach. It is also something a qualified speech therapist can definitely help with. If affording speech therapy is an issue, check with your universities spe...

Well, pandemic aside, I have no idea how to reach people that stutter where I live. Or even the resources....

Stuttering can come and go throughout life. Sometimes it can be caused by trauma or big life events. I am not surprised to hear it got worst during the pandemic or during puberty. You should see a doc...

Have you tried Delayed Auditory Feedback? An app for that is free. Experiment with that and see if it helps. To get a DAF device that is optimal for you, you would need to find an SLP who has experien...

Much appreciated! I figured I was walking the line on Rule 6 but gave it a shot anyway. To your point, I'll definitely be reaching out to the NSA to see if we can collaborate....

I hope my reply didn’t sound rude! I’m sure there are SLPs that deter people from using filler sounds and words. I am studying SLP, (and will be graduating this year), I’m just relaying what I’ve lear...

Feeling like I can’t show my true self is something that really bothers me because I honestly have a lot to say. It’s the reactions that get to me most although I know I shouldn’t hold them with so mu...

Thank you for your encouragement and great advice. It’s much appreciated. Disclosing that I stutter had calmed me in a lot of situations. I need to start doing that more instead of closing myself off....

Hey. When you say dropout is this from college or something similar? I've really felt the same recently. Sounds like you have a lot of pressure on, but can you book out a few days to do the bare min...
