Less than a year ago I was struggling with anxiety with presentations for my job and general antisocial-ness. I've made a ton of progress, most of which was actually getting to where you are now - rea...

Honestly I think you've already done the hard part. Coming to the realization that facing it is easier than running away was by far the hardest part for me in accepting it for what it is: just a hards...

Really awesome article! But I'm confused as to what you really did specifically to improve in fluency or what real change in mindset you had? Thanks ...

1. People stutter differently. His stutter is one stutter I have seen. 2. Pretty damn relevant. Either stay home or get the courage to likely embarrass yourself but do it anyway. fyi the movie is ca...

Thanks for posting this, I think sometimes about posting something to the sub where people can share their stories and what works for them. I think I had a bit of an epiphany recently, and I think so...

I think that works -- it's really an issue that has no right solution or path, so you gotta find what works for you. I think generally being more open about it is better. Some people like to self-ad...

Better! I have been pretty consistent and feel better. I could work a bit harder but I am trying more than I even did....

One of the best posts on here. This is the answer as far as I know. Of course, YMMV as everyone is different. ...

We've all been there/are there. Seeing that you're usually fluent, i guess it has to do with anxiety when talking to your higher ups. I'd focus on this anxiety and what causes it. As for any form of a...

That's me all the way. I have a lot of big talk about being myself, but when time comes I revert to being quiet again. I gotta get out of that mindset. ...

Your right, I was thinking of Valium. Still, SSRIs come with danger as well. I wouldn't take them unless it's a last resort. Monitor your side effects closely. I used to have terrible anxiety when I ...

I used to do it in the shower or alone in my room. Any time I could be alone, really. It's just a discipline thing. I really wanted to make it work, so I worked my butt off - I was only 12-13 years ol...

The best way to cure anxiety is to do those things that scare you. Anxiety is caused by avoiding situations. Benzos are super dangerous drugs, be really careful....

You just made my whole day. Thanks for an inspiring post. I think you’re right- the best ‘cure’ is to deal with it head on. Either it gets better or you get “better” (accepting, not caring as much) wi...

In addition to meditation, I've enjoyed reading up on Daoism and Buddhism throughout the years, this feeling of the transience of life and how you kind of need to go with the flow (in a really rough o...

I have had this feeling, too, that if I have a genuine or intimate conversation with someone that my stuttering seems to lessen. I guess the one thing is that I feel I can't really tap into that when ...

I would tend to agree, I think if you want to do them you'll start doing them. It's like incorporating any other routine into your day like general hygiene stuff or homework or errands. The fact that ...

I agree with the above post. I was listening to StutterTalk recently, and some of the best advice on there was something along the lines that you may not be able to control your speech but you for sur...

Sounds like you're just making excuses. If you are 100% committed to your goal you'll make it part of your daily routine. No one will hold your hand....

I've been there. I have a pretty severe stutter and a lot of secondaries but I'm still pushing through. I've isolated myself my for years and been through what felt like hell. Honestly, the stutter is...
