Breaking Point

Breaking Point I don't want to sound like I'm complaining at all. But I really have no where else to turn. My stutter has gotten so incredibly bad that it has taken complete hold upon my life. Brief n...

My story is very similar to yours. My family says I was born with a stutter (which is normal when we first begin talking) but mine never went away. In high school I had friends who I really cared abou...

In my opinion. People who stutter tend to see it as like a life sentence. When your that depressed it seems like there's no way out and that if you try and think positive thoughts you almost feel as i...

Winning the mental battle

Winning the mental battle I've been stuttering for around 20 years and I thought we could use some positivity on this forum. I feel like with stuttering it's both a physical and a mental struggle, and...

I started stuttering 2 years ago and I completely don't know the reason

I started stuttering 2 years ago and I completely don't know the reason I've never stuttered until 2 years ago, I exactly remember my first time, I was at the gym and I felt a block when a guy asked m...

No I don't. I have a stutter ever since i could talk, too fyi. But avoiding talking all together is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen just because you stutter....

I always wanted a girlfriend that stutters because I stutter. I thought I'd be cool because we can go through the struggle together but I don't think that'll work out... Someone has to do the talking....

I feel helpless.

I feel helpless. (i'm ranting) I'm so done having my stutter hold me back. Started stuttering in kindergarten, my school district set me up with a school counselor/speech therapist to help me work on...

We've all been there at some point. It's something in our life that we cannot control, and unfortunately we continue to go about our days longing for it to change when in reality it never will without...

So fucking depressed and held back in life cause of this shit.

So fucking depressed and held back in life cause of this shit. I don't even know what to say. I hate myself for this. Life looks bleak when I stutter. Each time I stutter I feel just a little bit of j...

There are two ways stuttering can tire me out: the mental exhaustion of navigating a long conversation, and poor breath control during stuttering. I less and less feel fatigued after speaking these d...

Yes. But im not sure its caused by the stuttering or my introvert nature. Speaking can be tiresome for sure, and even though I often dont feel stressed, I can feel myself sweating when talking to stra...

Yes, especially after long conversations or job interviews. Just gotta focus on the positives, which is that you got your message across and achieved what you came there to do (order your meal, ask ...

I agree with the message, but I would also point out that stuttering generally isn't something you can practice your way out of. Some people stutter less as they grow up or lose it altogether. My fath...

Sorry but I have to disagree with you that you should just blow it out the window. Having an extreme stutter in my opinion is just as limiting as having no legs. Not being able to say your name is pre...

Yeah, I know something similar was said on the other post. I find that comment, whether it's about stuttering or almost anything else, spectacularly anti-helpful. Call me crazy, but I believe that...

they said something similar on my other post. Frankly, I am really tired of the whole "just believe in yourself" attitude. I know I will never be fluent, I know I do not believe I will get better. Aft...

OP is not "letting" anything. If you read their other post, you'll know he or she has has a severe stutter, has nevertheless gone to dozens of interviews to try to find a job and has never been calle...

If it doesn't work out and you can't cope with your stuttering disability, then try something else. There is no shame in changing careers. What do you want in life? Figure that out, even if you need t...

>I've been able to get this far, but I doubt I can go much further unless I fix my stutter. So, you got this far. Some didn't, and they most likely didn't stutter. That's a win for you, right? &g...
