Need help/advice with stuttering and my life. Basically stuttering has ruined my life. I am 24 years old. I have been isolating myself for the past 6 years after high school. I didn't go to college be...

Never heard of disability accomdations, but I feel for you and know your frustration, I'm 58 and had a lifetime of this, my stutter had ruled, or should I say ruined my life, I'd be a completel...

I have been to the EXACT same situation. It seems you've been through some panic attack. When the same event (presenting my dissertation) happened to me forced me to abandon everything and went throug...

I feel you. But to be honest, hitting rock bottom and hitting that super low spot was what allowed me to change my life when I look in the rear view. Do you know what changed from the time you spo...

This is the main reason why my life has took such a drastic dive. Im almost in tears typing this. If it werent for the name saying id be okay. I don't want to be in a relationship because of this, I a...

I am not sure. Definetly, it was an handicap. When you want to say something and that your own body doesn't let you do it, it's an horrible feeling. On the other hand, it has also pushed me to try t...

First of all it is definitely going to affect your life in various ways. So I think acceptance of that is important in being able to manage it....

I highly recommend you look into Avoidance Reduction Therapy and also do a group session for speech therapy if you can. There’s so many successful people who stutter and you just can’t allow it to dic...

I'm definitely guilty of making decisions based on my stutter but I also know it's the *view* of stuttering that's the problem and not the stuttering itself. I see you mentioned you were 20 (21 here)....

You're fooling yourself. The only thing stopping you is you. Not your stutter....

I can agree on some level. Not so much annoyed but like “you have the ability and hate it!?” Like a special gift they don’t wanna use. I recently realized my fear of public speaking isn’t the same a...

Lol this analogy is so stupid. Exercise is something we have control over. Speech is not something we have control over. It doesn’t work like that....

I feel the same. I have said "No" to many opportunites, opportunities which are life changing. I'm 20 years old and this is the perfect time to say "Yes" to every opportunity I get, but I cannot simpl...

This is so true, I'm 58 and it's effected my whole life choices, esp my jobs I have had, the career I wanted I could never have so ended up in low pay dead end jobs.. I still regret it now.....

This. I'm so annoyed when people in my class don't ask any questions, especially for guest lectures that usually are really interesting. So I power through my stutter and ask away, only to find out th...

Our goal should be functioning members of society. It's certainly a cross to bear that others have no idea the suffering we go through, yet we can't run away from our problem and hope it resolves its...

I am already 22 and my stutter is getting worse.

I am already 22 and my stutter is getting worse. It gets worse when I openly have to do a medical report. I cannot say the names of some medicines without stuttering and sometimes I cannot even say it...

I am not offended at all. Thank you. You are 100 percent right, I have met a handfull of people in sscmiddleeast, it's a programme similar to the Mcguire in Saudi Arabia Who had a severe stutter but...
