Me too. This crisis has had a weird effect on people prone to stress. It's hard to calm yourself when the world outside isn't calm....

My experience is a little different. I find that I’m more mentally okay with my stutter, but whenever I do see someone or have to talk to someone my anxiety spikes before the conversation. Usually I g...

I definitely stutter more in meetings now. I don't even go to speech therapy but it's been noticeable. Luckily my work client and coworkers have been very understanding. I'm hoping it's just gotten w...

This might sound weird but for me when I wake up every day, I can usually tell how bad I’m going to stutter that day. My jaw usually feels tight, almost like I can’t open my mouth all the way. Sooo...

I’m left handed, stutter, and a woman so I guess I’m pretty unique haha. I was never forced to be right handed (I didn’t realize people still think being left handed is wrong). My stutter is mild-seve...

I think it takes a lot of cognitive restructuring to reduce your anxiety around the stuttering. Instead of “oh no!”, you eventually switch to “that would suck if it happened”, to “if it happens it hap...

I worked in hospitality for 4 years and decided to change to a call centrel. I worked in the call centre for six months and for the first while it was perfect. My speech had been great for years but t...

I feel so stressed when I talk that I just start mumbling random thoughts

I feel so stressed when I talk that I just start mumbling random thoughts I’ve been stuttering for my entire life (17 years). My stutter is a lot more controlled when I talk with my parents, but when ...

Stutters - in my experience - ebb and flow. It’ll be better for a couple weeks and then worsen and suddenly get better again. Sometimes it’s stress-related, maybe the quarantine has gotten to you a bi...

I can say without a doubt lack of sleep, stress and worry(virus situation), etc directly effects my stutter....

I’m not sure if it’s because of the whole quarantine thing, i just might be having bad anxiety and that could be making it worse, but ughh it’s been so frustrating. I hope it gets better for you!...

Speech therapy for me did not really help, a waste of money honestly. I’m 23 now and over the years I realize stress and happiness affects my speech. Think positive and it will definitely help....

I worked as a retail sales manager for a while before quitting my job to go back to college. I got a parttime job working for the university's IT help desk. We take walk-ins (pre-Corona) and calls a...
