I definitely don't recommend doing this long term as it's a terrible solution. Have you tried prescription medication before? Most doctors will prescribe small amounts of benzodiazepines for speeches ...

I do this when I know I will have to leave a message on a doctors voicemail or something of the sort. It’s a million times easier- a life saver!!! Sometimes I wonder if they can tell it’s a recording ...

I left speach therapy because I feel like I will never be fluent, even though I was getting better Hey guys, I (21M) stutter since I was a little kid and did a loooot of speach therapy in my youth and...

It's a very hard goal to work on directly like that. You've totally got the right idea and and walking down the correct road, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult and there won't be setbacks. That...

Voice recordings during phone calls. Anyone else? My secret tool: record hard-to-say speech using QuickTime (or similar program) in your own privacy, make the call, and then play the audio recordings ...

The best advice is: don't TRY to speak fluently. Then you don't feel bothered

The best advice is: don't TRY to speak fluently. Then you don't feel bothered If we feel pressured, we trigger our stutter. So we feel 'bothered' by our stutter. Thoughts on itself don't cause 'feelin...

I’m 21 and a male. I’ve stuttered my whole life and can’t say it’s done anything positive. It’s pretty much destroyed my self esteem and any chance of being in relationships cause I stutter and everyo...

I stutter next to never around people outside of my immediate family, and it really comes out at home. I think this is because I feel self conscious enough that I taught learned to avoid words that ma...

Hey man I’ve been where you are. Few things I did to help: 1) you don’t owe anyone fluency. You need to continuously tell yourself this 2) mastering the art of not giving a fuck. Not in the sense of...

I went to speech therapy in high school and did not feel like I was given adequate time to actually improve. I would get pulled out from an elective for maybe 20 min once a week. Of course during the ...

I'd hate to try and hide my stutter on a date and while also trying to be myself. That doesn't really mix. Also I think it's harder to be confident when you're trying to hide a part of yourself you're...

omg this. im kind of like an extrovert with social anxiety (if that makes sense). the social anxiety stemmed from having a stutter and the fear of people knowing that stutter,, if i didnt have a stutt...

extroverts, tap in!

extroverts, tap in! i believe stuttering is even more frustrating as an extrovert. i think a lot of people that don’t know me assume i’m really shy and reserved because i don’t try to initiate a full-...

I’ve tried Zoloft and lexapro. Zoloft worked but made me tired and lazy. Currently I’m on 10mg lexapro which is the lowest dose you can get and it changed my whole life. It allowed me(with some ha...
