I began speech therapy and was completely fluent speaking to the speech therapist.

I began speech therapy and was completely fluent speaking to the speech therapist. As soon as I went back to work I started stuttering again. Anyone else have a similar experience? Why is my brain tr...

Yeah, strange, huh? How opposite it can be. My friend, though, I don't actually think he gets more anxious, just like so tired he can't speak? I don't know, both ways make sense to me. ...

Different for me The more tired i am the less i care about my stutter, thus stuttering less and overall less anxious about things. I have been awake for 48+ hours few times ( driving around with fri...

I use the phone with strangers several times every day for my job. Lots of stuttering and drawn out explanations for why I'm calling etc. But it doesn't impact anything about the job and I get it done...

> I'd be interested in knowing any statistics on the matter. Do you know of any? No, I wish! I don't think there's great research on things like this. >To me, the idea that stuttering is cau...

Yeah, I know someone who, if he's tired, like especially really really tired, he goes from being able to be covert, to....well, it's super extreme. I mean, minutes (and not just one, several) to fini...

I'd be interested in knowing any statistics on the matter. Do you know of any? To me, the idea that stuttering is caused by nerves is a myth and misconception about what stuttering is. Many non-stu...

Yeah, but you're a weirdo. I am just kidding, of course. But you are not typical. Some people stutter more when they are relaxed. But almost everyone stutters more when they are stressed. Except...

I understand that having others tell you what to do with your speech can seem condescending. It's uninvited and, because you didn't ask for the advice/help, it comes as a surprise. But, I stand by t...

Good Days and Bad Days

Good Days and Bad Days I am male, 20 years old, and over the past couple of years I have noticed my tendency to stutter has become very polarized. Sometimes I will have a period of say 3 days to a wee...

It's like sometimes I'll block when they're asking me a question, or the usual "ums" and "uhs", and you can see them getting frustrated, so then i get stressed out, and i start stuttering. So i get th...

I stutter the same in all situations. Stress has no impact on it. Often it seems like I stutter the most when I'm most relaxed. It's a curious trait to have in how it varies between everyone....

Stutterers differ on when they're fluent (or nonfluent). But there's certainly variation possible, yes. I don't think we should call it "100 percent mental", since it might sound like it's something w...

Thanks for this. I totally respect and agree. Stressful situations are B-A-D for me. I guess I'm what you all would call a "covert" (new to this sub), but around my close friends and family I'm prett...

You're experience is common, but honestly it's not something I personally have. One of my ways that helps me is when I read out loud to myself for 10 minutes or so, and I've always stuttered when I do...

I work in Game Operations for an NBA team. During game days we constantly have to communicate on personal radio headsets which makes me very anxious sometimes. We also have weekly meetings with the wh...

I have 2 interviews this week for some law enforcement agencies. Had 2 in the past month as well. I stuttered at first because I always get nervous but I usually end up calming myself down and start s...

Yeah baclofen is a pretty amazing substance. In Russia they use a GABA-inhibitor called phenibut to reduce anxiety-induced stuttering. You can get it in the states as a nootropic supplement. However ...
