Interesting observation whilst on Prozac/Fluoxetine

Interesting observation whilst on Prozac/Fluoxetine So I’ve been on Prozac/Fkuoxetine for 4 months now to alleviate my general/social anxiety and it’s been great. My doctor reviewed me about 2 weeks ...

Stutters aren’t hereditary. Everyone has anxiety. What are you afraid of that every parent isn’t afraid of?...

It calms my mind and central nervous system, reducing anxiety and tension. So yes, I find I’m more fluent when I’m calm. I also drink calming teas and not caffeinated drinks too, which I found made ...

A few hours. Then after enough fight or flight moments during the day, my body stiffens up again. I think I need to practice regular breathwork, meditation throughout the day?...

Makes sense. A nice warm shower drops cortisol, relaxes you and strongly activates the parasympathetic nervous system (via the vagus nerve), which dampens the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” response. ...

Every time I come out of the shower my speech improves a lot, over 50%. Maybe the hot shower is relaxing my nervous system. My chest doesn’t feel so tight when I am trying to speak

My experience with stuttering and how it affected my mental health

My experience with stuttering and how it affected my mental health As far as I can remember, I’ve always stuttered. I was born in a country where almost no one is aware of stuttering, so my parents di...

There is no single global statistic that definitively states "X% of all stutterers are mouth breathers." However, clinical studies have found a significant overlap between the two conditions, particul...

Stuttering and the military

Stuttering and the military Hey guys, I just wanted to share a little bit about my experience with stuttering and being in the military. I developed social anxiety in college and later decided that I ...

At times? When specifically? When alone? When reading? That’s because there’s no emotional load on the brain in those situations. When there’s emotional load in social situations, the amygdala, pre...

I am not young anymore an have been dealing with stuttering for decades now. For most part successfully. And I agree with the OP far more than I agree with you. One of the big issues of stuttering i...

I had a presentation yesterday, didn't stutter much, but was criticised for being too fast. I was sweating anxiously; needing to finish fast was not my intention. I actually didn't care because I didn...

I have never met a stutterer who was not anxious to some extent. I fixed my stuttering by learning how to breathe for speech just like fluent speakers which eliminated my stuttering. I couldn’t deal w...

Hey, I think both views can be true. For me, my stutter always disappears when I’m alone. With ample of preparation, I’ve also been able to speak fluently in front of large audiences. I once gave a 1...

It's not really anxiety though, it's just at work. I have to make a lot of phone calls for Drs appointments and I used to be long distance with my partner. It's really mostly the sound that gives me t...

Stuttering is not caused by social anxiety. Anxiety exacerbates stuttering, but the root cause is neurological....

Yep anxiety really exacerbates stuttering, so if THC makes you more anxious or paranoid, best to avoid it. 👍🏼...

I can second this. Been an avid smoker for 4-5 years now. I recently quit a couple of months ago and with it, my anxiety improved and my stutter GREATLY reduced...

Like some people with an actual neurological stutter find themselves fluent when they get really mad or as you said life or death. It’s weird how the brain works. But I stutter when I’m alone, with my...

This is an interesting view, and I think I agree….?? Haven’t really thought about it being 100% anxiety. I knew that was a component, for sure. I don’t stutter when talking to myself. And I usually d...
