Not a doctor but a short time using SRIs worked for my stutter 25+ years ago. Not because they removed the actual act of stuttering but because they gave me a breather from the anticipatory hell of it...

What you are saying is harmful. Alcohol, controlled substances, bizarre surgeries and “extreme drugs” will not actually help anybody. I’m sorry you think any of it can help. There are actually safe...

I am terrified of getting a job

I am terrified of getting a job I (20F) have never had a job before. I've done volunteer work but never held a "normal" paying job. I've overcome a lot of fears, like presenting, and I enjoy talking ...

I do pretty much the exact same thing. I only ever force through a block maybe once or twice a month. Probably even less than that....

I stutter the most with my family/extremely close friend, other friends not so much. I’m also the same with meeting new people, I’ll have some blocking occur but I usually find ways to manage it bett...

It’s stopped *impacting* my ability to communicate. A new person would never know I am a person who stutterers, and I’m able to say what I want, when, and how I want....

Reading aloud is the only stuttering exercise I have consistently done. Unfortunately, for me, it hasn't helped at all (sometimes I even feel like I've gotten much worse). However, I agree with you ab...

Same here .. I ended up mistaking the answers of the questions on purpose .. when the true answer is impossible to be delivered 😔...

You talk about struggling to start conversations. Practice. “Hello, how you doing?” “How was your journey here?” “Have you been working here for long? What do you do?” Look for things to relate on. If...
