This is similar to how breathing is sometimes used in mindfulness or anxiety regulation. It does not address the neurological basis of stuttering, but it may help some people feel more control, reduce...

Great post u/popquizkid_ ! identify with many of the scenarios you listed. I'd like add a few of my own. The telephone is a HUGE hurdle for me. I get ridiculously anxious when I have to call someone ...

I have ADHD + stuttering which is a crazy combo to deal with because those two works together to make me feel much worse in daily life. For me, sleep consistently (7-9 hours), eat nutritious meals 3 t...

I just started at my fire dept. 4 months of an academy and now online, I feel the same way at times. 99% of the time, I think about me stuttering more than the people around me. There’s that one rando...

The thing is that, stuttering affects your ability to communicate clearly and fluently due to your speaking/language production part of your brain 🧠 wires differently and the neurological connections...

Rant.

Rant. Genuinely jealous. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm jealous of schools in the West, like US, Canada. Even some European countries. My mom lives in the US while I'm stuck in this country and I wi...

Hell ya dude! I could say with confidence that mostly everyone is nervous for interviews & a stutter makes it 10x worse. You did a great job!...

Stutter block affecting me at work. Advice?

Stutter block affecting me at work. Advice? Hello. Deciding to post on here because I need some tips/guidance real bad. I’ve had a stammer since I was a child and was in extensive speech therapy from...

This is what many of us were taught in speech therapy and what is discussed academically. I still stutter when I’m alone and talking to myself. As you said, there is a lot of anxiety for PWS when spea...

Depression (long rant)

Depression (long rant) I’ve been posting on here a lot recently. I guess you could say that I haven’t been doing to well recently, so I’ve been posting on here a lot to try to cope or something like t...

Alarmed by your number of upvotes, how does it make sense as a motor skill issue when the vast majority of stutterers don’t stutter all the time or when they are alone? I can speak pretty much fluen...

Alright, here’s the text in English: --- Imagine your nervous system lifted a barbell and couldn’t put it down. In that moment, you experienced muscle tension, fear, and tremor — and your nervous s...

Question for the socially anxious stutterers

Question for the socially anxious stutterers What makes you anxious? Is it "not being fluent" infront of others or not being able to say anything because the stutter went insanely worse? I am a s...

That is rough. There is so much too choose for me. Maybe the time that I was at a group job interview everyone started to laugh at me when I started to have a block and one woman even pulled out h...

You don’t stutter when you’re alone because there’s no external trigger. For people like you, another person acts as a trigger, not the cause. You don’t stutter alone because your nervous system isn’...

I’m so sorry that happened, and thanks for the tip. I definitely hope my face doesn’t give off that appearance because I’m never disappointed, but I still get nervous about how to react occasionally,...

Lexapro is escitalopram. Same thing. You will just have to try and see. What works for some does not work for others. It’s trial and error to see which one works best for your anxiety, and indirectly...

Yes, I’m on Lexapro now. I had to come off Prozac because it made my stutter worse due to it being more activating on dopamine and norepinephrine. Lexapro only increases seratonin which indirectly, s...

You have to face the fear of talking to people. I know it’s easier said than done but it’s possible!...

In the SAME situation, dude. I’m too a 17 year old high-school senior male with a stuttering problem. I don’t have any advice rather, as I’m equally as anxious, but at least we know we’re not alone lo...
