Wow, how odd. Sounds like seasonal allergies. I'm *not* saying it is! Just coincides with spring/summer pollen allergies. So....you're in the severe months now.... : ( Can I ask, does it come o...

Yeah, I the 'calm down/slow down reaction' is annoying no matter how many times you hear it haha Are you saying that bullying in India isn't as severe as in first world countries? Because that surpri...

You ordered your food in person at a restaurant. You should be proud of yourself for not just ordering online and taking the easy way out. I get it, there are way too many bad days for PWS to handle. ...

Don't know what your culture is like at work but my place has been really accommodating with making sure I'm comfortable at meetings and get a proper hearing. Raise it to your manager and if they're w...

Hmm this is really interesting. I'm aware that my fluency is correlated to my anxiety. My theory is that as your hormones have leveled out so has your brain chemistry. (As an aside: In Russia, the...

The worst thing you can do at this point is to shut down & go silent again. If you do that, then you need to accept the fact that you're going to repeat this type of situation again & again un...

It's really starting to have an effect on my quality of life.

It's really starting to have an effect on my quality of life. Warning, incoming vent about quality of life: I should start by saying that I am 26 and have had a stutter since I was 5. So I have had i...

Memorizing usually makes it easier. It's tough to focus on how to say stuff if you run out of stuff to say. Knowing exactly how to begin each slide is especially helpful for 'renewing' fluency. Even t...

We're all in the same boat. Just don't make it affect you too much. We can't control it, we can only live with it and face the reality. Everyday I have to remind myself that unlike others, we are fig...

Keep putting yourself in situations in which you think you will stutter in and sooner or later you will find yourself becoming slightly fluent. This fluency will increase the more you believe in yours...

I saw a hypnotist but didn't think it was worth it. I fell asleep and he woke me up. Thought it was pretty goofy. I feel for you. I think we have all been there. It is a very good thing that suicide ...

Sorry for the late post - I appreciate the mention. What I can tell you is it's all to do with mindset. This is especially apparent when you do deep research into how the bran works and your subconsci...

It feels horrible, but it can't actually kill you. Stuttering will never kill you. It will be very embarrassing at times, but it won't kill you. You've got one chance at life. If it can't kill you, ju...
