Hello doc! *high fives* I hope you stick with it too. No doubt we've survived some of the hardest challenges in our lives, and it would be a shame if a speech impediment made all this pointless. There...

Thank you. While VERY FUCKING DEPRESSING LOL, your perspective is right on point and illustrates my crisis perfectly. And you're a lawyer, even better...we live in rather similar minefields where our ...

Damn i can relate to this.. Wish i had some advice to give but I've gotten to a point that i hate everybody and keep conversation so minimal where all i ever say are 1 word sentences. Everytime i stut...

The dark side of stuttering that no one talks about. Self medicating to get rid of it. I'm not sure if there are others out there, probably is but I turned into an alcoholic/drug addict for many year...

I've almost eliminated it out of my life by not giving a fuck about what other people think about me.

I've almost eliminated it out of my life by not giving a fuck about what other people think about me. A lot of what this sub preaches is to stop caring what other people think about you, learning to a...

Thanks, but everyone in my circle makes about the same or more. It just makes me boil with blood that I can't have a single conversation without sound like a blithering idiot. ...

I'll be 21 in a week and a half. I've had the stutter since I was probably 14. No one in my family stutters that I know of so they are very insensitive about it. It makes me feel horrible because I ca...

my mom grew up with a stutter and her mom always told her to slow down, so my mom never told to slow down or stuff like that because she knew how demeaning it felt at times, but occasionally friends r...

Relationships I've had a stutter my whole life, nothing too severe. Usually my speech is pretty good, but I notice it heavily impacts how I interact with women. I'm generally (not always) a little awk...

Sleep and make it to the next day as quickly as possible. Or some good ol' self-loathing if that fails....

I read it online at various websites. It does make sense, but I don't want people to know I have a stutter, it's embarrassing. I did try a speech therapist once, but didn't really give it a proper go...

You don't have to ask for or even accept pity. The point is to take ownership of the situation. People closest to you grow accustomed to your stutter and have an unspoken understanding, but it's still...

Accepting the fact that you stutter doesn't mean you're okay with letting it take hold of your life. It's simply a first step of acknowledging you have a speech disorder in the first place. We all see...
