Why aren't there drugs for stuttering?
Why aren't there drugs for stuttering? It's bullshit how bipolar, ADHD, and OCD have their own treatments, but none for stuttering. Speech therapy is useless and it didn't help me. So basically I'm h...
Hello and welcome! I am so glad you found us and that you found the courage and strength to not let it hold you back. I got my phd and work as a school psychologist, married a great handsome man, expe...
So I can totally relate to what you described. I’m not a speech pathologist so it’s hard for me to give you any exact pointers especially everyone’s stutter is specific to them. I think you did the ri...

As an older gentleman, let me give you my perspective, tho of course your mileage may vary. To start: Do I have trouble accepting myself and my stutter? Every. Fucking. Day. And that's fine. I've come...
The biggest thing is just how exhausting it is. I'd probably be an extrovert if I didn't stutter. I love people, but I just hate social interactions. I'm just so sick of stressing out about EVERY SING...
Anyone else have trouble accepting themself and their stutter?

Wow I really relate to everything you’ve expressed here! I’m 33 and have stuttered since I was about 4. I’ve hidden it using the same tactics as you from almost everyone I’ve met except for a couple v...
