Breathing really helps. I always take the time to stop and catch my breath when i just can’t get a word out. Sometimes I feel like I have to say everything i want very quickly so the person doesn’t ge...

Don't get me wrong, I don't it's the explanation 100% for sure. I just think there is enough evidence to suggest that it may be a factor. None of this is 100% and even the experts don't understand how...

I don't think it's wrong. There's a good amount evidence, including the fact that dopamine antagonists lessen symptoms. It's not a cure, but it can help. Albeit with bad side effects. The hope for ec...

I never thought of it that way, that is a sort of insecurity to show your emotions but you are right at least for me... when I am angry or speak up or really really confident of my case it’s fluent!...

I think it's more a fear of expressing your emotions, or being vulnerable. Most of us are also perfectly fluent when we talk very angrily...

Fear and anxiety makes it worse. I find that practising my talking everyday helps me to talk easily. Don't be too had on yourself mate....

Stuttering and Mental Health: The Statistics

Stuttering and Mental Health: The Statistics I'll preface this by saying that I hope this post gives people empathy and understanding, rather than depression or less hope. If you're suffering under yo...

I was USAF. BMT was miserable. Reporting was crap. Pretty much speaking until I got assigned was just terrible. I speak with my hands/body, always have. Maybe Tic like, doesn't matter. I would p...

Thank you for all what you said!You are really a kind person. In our society they only care about studying. If you fail in school, you are a loser. No matter how try hard or school teaching doesn't s...

I think if your stutter is really linked to your stress level it could be beneficial. I've used Lions Mane for about a year now and, while it definitely hasn't cured my stutter, I find that I'm more r...

Strange thing I know me and alot of others when you get us mad we don't miss a word. Now telling a joke and stuttering that just sucks leaving them hanging for the punchline....

I also don't stutter when I'm talking to myself. I think my stutter is more of a unaligned breathing-speech functioning. Maybe thats why...

Anxiety does not cause stuttering!!!! It is a secondary condition to stuttering! 1% of the population stutter! Think of how many ppl in the world suffer from anxiety, esp nowadays, hell lot more than ...

For me, 20% of my stuttering is just there bc I have a speech disorder. The other 80% is bc of heightened emotions (sometimes when I'm really excited I stutter more, not just negative emotions) and my...

Anxiety or Stutter?

Anxiety or Stutter? Do you stutter coz of anxiety? Or, are you anxious coz of your stutter?...

Surely this would indicate speech anxiety rather than a lack of ability to speak. I work in the Uk Police force and for example when I say O66 as a call sign, in the car with my colleague. It is clear...

Any support groups that meet over zoom?

Any support groups that meet over zoom? I've realized that my stutter is getting worse dieting the pandemic. And I feel is due to the lack of practice talking to new people and the additional stress t...

Mine is kind of similar. I stutter a lot in social situations when I get excited or happy about something. I start talking faster, my brain outpaces my mouth, and it just falls apart. Like I’ll be ...

Definitely. My therapist describes it as cognitive load. If you're having to think about what to say, that's distracting you from thinking about controlling your stutter....

That's pretty normal for a lot of people that stutter. Something about a difference in activation in the brain when you speak to yourself, kinda like singing or reading in unison. I also don't stutte...
