I'll be good lol. Yeah it's nuts. Everyone is a different case. With both BPD and stuttering...

Wow. My best friend has the same condition. Both stuttering and bypolar 1 mania. Last time we went on manic episode we had to call the mental hospital to get him because he was totally gone. Is it ex...

Stuttering, Bipolar 1 Mania, and me. Personal theory.

Stuttering, Bipolar 1 Mania, and me. Personal theory. Hey there. I will try to make this concise. But it won't work lol. I, 29M, have had a stutter since I could speak. Pretty typical moderate stut...

It's not taken seriously in the community either. Based on my recent survey of the sub and discord (which I'll probably post a new update for soon because there's like 50 more responses), 62% say they...

It seems a lot of people seem to think that we choose to stutter, as if it's something not out of our control. Or that people don't understand that our stuttering is not the same as their stuttering...

Yes they are linked - it was only when a workmate mentioned my stutter when I found out! Mine was blown knowing they were linked, I am mid fourties now and had the stutter my own life. It would have b...

It’s unfortunate that stuttering doesn’t get enough awareness and isn’t considered a disability. It may be an invisible one, but it’s just as important as visible disabilities. Having a stutter has he...

I had someone like this. Me and my friend were working together in class, then one of his friends came out of no where to watch up do the work. He realized that I wasn’t speaking that much. His frie...

I agree our struggles aren't taken seriously and people tend to brush them off, but it's not a disability. There are countless examples of stutterers thriving. The POTUS. Many in Hollywood. Business....

Blocking stutter and selective mutism should be classified as an invisible disability because people who don't know just try to explain away by assuming things like shyness, forgetfulness, anxiety, un...

yup, even closest people to you dont get the idea your struggle is like hell. once my friend was upset that he “stuttered” in a presentation because he was nervous, in my mind was like “how dare you c...

I consider stuttering a disability, but even within our community some people who stutter themselves don't WANT it to be considered a disability because of stigma. So I'm not surprised that other peop...

Yep I get that all the time. The word stutter can mean different things to different people. People use the word to refer to a video buffering or a game lagging. People use the word to describe disflu...

Do you talk to yourself?

Do you talk to yourself? I don’t stutter if I’m alone and know or think nobody can ever hear me (different if I’m being recorded or using an automated menu on phone) and sometimes I just have a conve...

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful talk. It´s amazing how many people who have overcome stuttering escentialy talk about the same thing; To change our false beliefs; learn to express and grow emotionally...

The simultaneous activation leading to an isometric effect with no net effect on the glass is a great way to put it. I agree that is essentially what happens. I agree with most of what you said. Ho...

Thank you for your fantastic comment! >*"I could get more technical to explain neural structures and dynamics that lend credence to this explanation, but this comment is already too long."* I would...

Anticipation is the problem, because overreliance implies there is some level of reliance where anticipation is helpful. If you want a window into how fluent people experience the process of speaking...

Thank you for your reply! I can resonate with much of what Brocklehurst (PhD) states, but my opinions diverge slightly when it comes to the VRT (variable release threshold) hypothesis. Namely, Brock...

Exactly. Was the same with me. And that day, I figured it out, that stutter is not a disease. From that point forward, i tried to fixed it, and in one way i succeded. One thing helped me tremendous, a...
