Like, if in US your local counseling center might offer IOP services which I don't think you NEED a mandatory 72hr stay to be referred. Sometimes these are for people discharged from psych or detox so...

If the books/meetings helped you, that’s great! No disrespect to that community either. Just stating what I saw from my experience when I almost bought the books looking for a ‘cure’. Tons of people h...

Yeah that’s totally fair. I guess it depends what kind of interaction you’re talking about. If you’re talking about someone who’s maliciously and intentionally making fun of you, then by all means s...

I don't feel it adds bad emotions. I feel good when I disclose I stutter. I've also earned the right to add a bit to the sting. After the little addition, it’s business as usual. I see this disclosure...

It would suck if stuttering happens when you do the callback 😭 . Anyways jokes aside. IMHO there is no point in calling people out. If they make fun of you be the bigger person and move on. Don’t d...

Depends on who it is. If it’s a friend, I don’t make it a big deal and just say to don’t do that. If it’s a colleague, I say that’s unprofessional and inappropriate. If it’s a stranger, I go on my way...
