Something's wrong...

Something's wrong... My stuttering problem is getting worse now. I'm thinking it's because I've been feeling anxious a lot lately and feeling down. I've had both repetitive and blocking stuttering, mo...

Welcome to the hell is more like it. I take it your impediment is blocks like mine. When I was a kid and teen I had a repetitive stammer and in my adulthood it evolved into this. If I get stuck I have...

I've been on both ends of the interview process - it's no different. Some people find it easier if they just tell the interviewer upfront that they stutter and don't mind repeating themselves if nece...

Oh and the turn fear into fun thing....im scared of flying. I hate it but its a requirement of my job. Ive started to quit obsessing about being up in a plane way above land and started thinking like ...

How old are you? I'm 33 and I grew up stuttering pretty severely and conditioned myself with some pretty hardcore anxiety - social anxiety is probably the worst part of it. It got so bad at one poin...

I was prescribed lexapro for an unrelated to stuttering reason and I've noticed that ever since I got off it I've been stuttering more. It didn't affect my stuttering while I was on it....

I've had the same problem when I'm confronted by an authority figure. There's a lot of nervousness that can kick in when I sort of feel I'm being asked to defend myself, even though usually they're ju...

The way I've always described it: I stutter because I'm nervous and I'm nervous because I stutter....

I wouldn't be surprised. I find myself out of breath and my heart going at it after I finish a sentence with a heavy a stutter. That's why people recommend anxiety pills to stabilize the stutter a bit...
