The 2018 Stuttering New Years Challenge

The 2018 Stuttering New Years Challenge Some of you may know me from the Discord, so you've probably already heard this. A lot of us have issues with avoidance and anxiety. Many of us don't use our vo...

Talking to yourself and to others are completely different for me, the former being 100% fluent. Talking to family I am more excited and maybe make less of an effort than when I am with a stranger. ...

Is my stuttering purely psychological?

Is my stuttering purely psychological? Hi, I've been struggling with my stutter since I was 6-7 years old (I'm 25 now) and I was wondering if my problem is psychological, neurological or just a habit ...

Stuttering does define us. Stuttering gave us a lot of our experiences in life that make who we are today. It's a big part of who we are, especially those of us that have been stuttering since the day...

More annoying for me is how, on occasion I just can speak very very clearly in social interactions. No problems with word retrieval at all, no tension. At those times it's like something switched in m...

ugh .. this again?!?! If it's dopamine then why only fapping? why not any rewarding event? This is actually the biggest problem with this hypothesis. It suggests that fapping is the only "source" of ...

Instantaneous pressure. I feel it most when someone out of the blue asks me a question. For instance, when I’m On the train I’m usually self absorbed in my thoughts and a random question from a strang...

Jesus Christ not another one. Not masturbating and letting your balls swell has no scientific proof for anything. It won't help you get more women or cure cancer or make you into the most desirable ma...

i do think that depression and anxiety cause my stutter to become more pronounced. maybe the best things for me are to lead a healthy life and keep a positive mindset, that seems to improve my feeling...

I’m with ya. I feel a change on fluency when I’m depressed or anxious. I take Xanax and propranolol when I have to give a presentation, go out to bars, go on a date, etc... I am on antidepressants as ...

Prescription drugs/anxiety

Prescription drugs/anxiety Right,I’m sure most of you well know crippling fear of going into the barbers,and trying to converse without having them look at you funny when asking for a haircut,this hap...

Some people view stuttering as a "reaction" to a certain emotion or sound or word or person. Perhaps when you are approaching a "B" sound you are mentally aware and preparing yourself for a block bec...

I have the same thing, stammering more on "easy" questions. Yes it is crushing. Think it has to do with the fact, in my case, I don't want people to know I have a stammer, and me introducing myself is...

Stuttering and substance abuse

Stuttering and substance abuse Any studies on these two things having any correlation? 20 years old. Been stuttering my whole life. Discovered at the age of 17 - oh hey - when i'm drunk I don't stutte...

No I'm beginner. I'm not really sure how I should breathe. I start with diaphragmatic breathing than shortly after I change to chest breathing, and this is where things get hectic, get so out of breat...

I still haven't got the technique- always mean to work on it but i'm lazy af. If I'm slightly nervous, my breathing goes all erratic. I think i'm starting to develop anxiety. ...

Really depends on the context of the phone call. Usually if I have to make an appointment or do something with insurance, I just tell them that I have a speech impediment and it might take longer tha...

Well....you are kind of right. Anxiety and environmental factors most definitely trigger stuttering; however, the predisposition (if you will) to stutter, is already there. For example, you may have 2...

It’s mostly about the tension you build up within yourself. I’d be sitting there dreading it for 15 minutes and that would only make it worse. I hated it. ...
