Anxiety, stress, and excitement brings my stuttering (blocks and repeats) out. Otherwise, my stuttering isn't very noticeable in day-to-day speaking being that I don't get anxious, stress or excited ...

I stutter more when I’m nervous/stressed out. When I have to talk about something that makes me uncomfortable for example I’ll have to remind myself to take deep breaths. I also rarely stutter when I ...

I am actually going to celebrate when I finally manage to get a job

I am actually going to celebrate when I finally manage to get a job So, I graduated with a pretty good STEM degree in the summer but I’ve found it very difficult to get a job. To be honest… I’ve never...

I’ve never been in the military but if your in a gas chamber I’m sure your adrenaline will be pumping and not even thinking about it, I drag race and when me and my dad are talking on the radio I don’...

There's plenty of people with stutters in the military. I have one, and I had a battle buddy with one. I went through in 2014 at Ft. Benning. There's a dude on this subreddit that's going through spe...

Navy here. Mild stutter as well. Believe me, when you take off that mask, you won't be thinking about your stutter. I don't recall anything negative-lasting memories from speaking during the gas chamb...

Oh, basic was a blast. The gas chamber is going to suck, but the stutter won't make any difference in there, 90% of other soldiers weren't able to get any words out either due to the sheer amount of s...

Not Army (Air Force), but you have nothing to worry about. There are plenty of people in the Armed Forces with a stutter, myself included. ​ To answer your question, there's no magic ans...

My grandfather stuttered and somehow became a drill sergeant. He only got stuck on words every once in a while. He would tell a story about a time he was doing marching drills. When his group was...

Could it have something to do with mood and energy? Maybe you're enjoying yourself when you act on stage, but when you speak there's a certain anxiety. That anxiety could be triggering the stutter. ...

Do you parents often comment on or give you advice on how to fix your stutter? Until I blew up at my dad and told him it's never going away so he better get over it. He'd always be at me about it. Te...

Thank you for sharing your story! I stutter as well! One thing that stood out to me is that stress did not cause your stutter! Stuttering is a disorder and often hereditary. That’s like saying st...

Yep, that's correct; although if I'm in a fine French restaurant or travelling in Quebec, I can still get a little anxious ordering as I'll flip to rusty French and I'm not super-confident with my acc...

Just finished a class presentation. Stuttered here and there, maybe 85 to 90 percent fluency, feels pretty good. I am 37 years old.

I have to agree. Not that medications can't help, as far I know, but if anxiety is causing it to worsen then you may want to look at speaking with a counselor to reduce the anxiety with framing techni...

That's almost the opposite as me. If all I have to say is something rally short like my name or a food order or something, I'm perfectly fine. But as soon as I have to try to think of what to say and ...

Dude, I also take French, and I have the exact same problem. My stutter was mild in middle school, but it got much worse now that I’m in high school. One thing that’s helped me so far is dopamine anta...

Haven't taken SSRIs but I know my mental health has a massive affect on my stutter. I'm always looking for ways to reduce anxiety and be as chill as possible. On the other hand though when I get reall...

I mean they're mainly for serotonin. I guess it may have some dopamine re-uptake inhibition too...

SSRI's raise your dopamine levels and tend to raise your stuttering. If you want a decrease and don't mind the side effects take dopamine antagonists aka anti psychotics....
