My stuttering has gone worse.

My stuttering has gone worse. It wasn't that bad just 5 months ago. I'd only struggle with some letters like w, a, b, m. After I start the sentence I'm gonna say, it's all good from there and I'd carr...

I really just don't understand anymore!!!

I really just don't understand anymore!!! Hey guys I just found this sub and have a few questions if anyone is willing to help me out, I am super frustrated! Ill give a little backstory first. Sorry I...

If you push out your belly forcefully with abdominal muscles and diaphragm and hold them tight like this while speaking, the block disappers. Useful trick....

Yes I do. I block rather than repeat. So when there's a part of the sentence coming up that cannot be said easily - I start feeling this weird pressure in my head. Too bad, the research on stutteri...

I can, but I can feel it more when I'm nervous or anxious. If I'm just talking to people I'm very comfortable with and not nervous I might feel it a little bit but if I'm nervous or anxious it feels l...

Hmm.. offtopic...but is there a way to aim for repetitions than blocking? It might seem a weird thing to ask for, but sometimes I just take so much time during a block that others think that I have ...

Ive never even been able to talk in my dreams. In real life my stutter feels like my chest and throat get tight. In my dreams it is kind of similar though. I have crazy nightmares all the time, but th...

Can you feel the stutter coming?

Can you feel the stutter coming? Hello new to the thread. Read allot of your stories and so glad i found a place where other people can relate to the same things i do. I was wondering if anyone else ...

My brain doesn't freeze per say. I know what i want to say. But my throat closes and my chest gets tight. I get stuck on a word And have to restart my sentence a few times before i can get through the...

I tell people its like a person is grabbing my throat and squeezing it shut. Or there is a boa constrictor squeezing my chest....

Any words that start with letters or sounds that i have to touch my tongue to the roof of my mouth. But if i end a word short before i say one like that i can usually get through it...

yeah, people are able to understand and I'm probably blocking for about a 2 seconds with the word umm. Say, for example, I'm saying the word imagine. I would draw it out and say it like "ummmagine...

Hey. Mine is blocking as well. Do you mind me asking when you do block how long its for and are people who hear you are they able to understand what you are saying?...

Absolutely. I have a speech block so I literally deal with this everytime I talk. For me its like a lyric video, with the words flying in from the side, ya know? The words I block on are red, I can se...

"Kingston". I can pronounce it as easily as breathing. Although occasionally I might pronounce it "Kangston" or might block for a split second, which is still kind of awkward. Edit: added a few thi...

When I have all these thoughts in my mind that I want to get out but it's taking too long for them to get out. It sounds like the perfect scenario for the "relax, calm down and speak," but this can be...

Always had it as far as I can remember it and I do occasionally get that whole repeating letters/syllables thing but that really doesn't bug me as much as the blocks (probably because I can get past t...

I think... I'm not quite sure how this fits together, but this: -When I let it get to me. I mean, yeah, I stumble sometimes, but it's not news anymore. I'm almost 40, I've been doing this for over 3 ...

Have you always had a stutter Shapez, or just recently? And I know it's probably hard to pinpoint, but do you think your blocks are worry/stress-related or that physically your throat/lips close up? ...

Will check it out, thanks Paul ;) I get stuck on Bs too sometimes, it's that plosive sound that just seems to linger tensely behind my lips and won't come out! Thanks for sharing ;)...
