My thoughts on my stuttering.

My thoughts on my stuttering. I'm 28 years old male. Fairly successful in life in a well paying construction job. I've been stuttering my whole life and I feel like that's the last thing holding me ba...

I strongly recommend trying to get prescribed propranolol. It is a beta blocker, it works by stopping the release of adrenaline in your body (which is the reason why your hands/legs/body may shake, yo...

Only getting started. My contract is up for the country I'm working in, so phone interviews here I come. FML. Stress from moving the family back to the States, and the impending doom of phone intervie...
