Right? Like I'm honestly astonished. Perhaps people have understood what Im saying to be hand movements as in a secondary behavior of stuttering. And this is not the case here at all. I meant hand mov...

I get what your saying. I'm 37 and while I have days now that I can speak perfectly fine, I have other days where it's horrible. I've also developed this sort of facial contortion while trying not to ...

I am sorry this is happening to you. If I may, please consider the difference between: 1. repetitions/prolongations AND 2. blocking due to fear, accompanied by body language, silences and pressu...

I think my best friend secretly judges me for my impediment

I think my best friend secretly judges me for my impediment When I stutter, it only really comes out when I’m nervous and or around the group of people. A few days ago, my best friend invited me and s...

The sisskin stuttering centre (in my opinion the best place to go to for pws) gives these points as indicators to seek help: -Physical tension in and around moments of stuttering -Frustration at ...

I mean what you said doesn’t even make sense, you don’t stutter while reading things in your mind and even if it’s for the sake of the joke, most people don’t violently shake when stuttering...

I have this same exact problem. It’s the only type of stutter I have. What helps me is stoping and taking a deep breath in, and talking while exhaling. Calming myself down also helps because I notic...

For a few years now I've been closing my eyes gently during a stutter. I honestly really hate that I do it and I'm struggling to train myself back out of it...

Try This if you are stuttering, stop talking. Don't try to force it, it never works. Take a breath, and on the exhale breath try talking again. Don't try to force your way through the stutter blo...

Its your secondary movement associated with the stutter. I used to shake my leg and blink my eyes before. Now I no longer do that but it has transitioned to my jaw trembling uncontrollably....

I’ve definitely found that speech therapy has helped me and relaxation plus breathing techniques. I’ve managed to reduce my facial tics that were a big part of my stammer by about 98% in the last 6 mo...

Anyone else blink too much while talking?

Anyone else blink too much while talking? I decided to record myself, and I'm blinking way too much, my face is giving me no choice but to do it. What does that mean? Anyone else do that?...

No facial tics here but sometimes…very rarely my jaw moves in a funny way. That only happens when I force or try to force a word out. I pay attention to when I know it might happen, take a moment..t...

Facial Tics

Facial Tics Hi everyone! I’m 22F and i’ve been stuttering for about 19 years now. Does anyone else have extreme facial tics when they stutter? Like extreme enough for your face to start hurting? If so...

Similar situation. I’m 38 and my stuttering has held me back in so many ways. Been on 100 first dates and still single because my confidence is low from always thinking I’m going to stutter and look b...

I do what my therapist (slp) calls “revisions”. Instead of trying to hammer through the block. I stop and retry in a relaxed way. Recently I got a fidget roller (silent and fits in my hand without dra...

Not being to able to speak your mind. When experiencing a block, it's a feeling that I personally can't describe because I physically cannot say the word. It's like something is stopping my lips from...

You know that feeling when you get random leg cramps and you can't move your leg cause it locks up. Picture that in the upper chest and back of the throat, and during all that, your mind is fully awar...

I do well with masking my stutter, but sometimes there’s no avoiding it and it comes out. Usually people just look at me like I’m having a stroke or something 🤷‍♀️...
