Yeah, I couldn't date (or even better friends with) anyone else with a speech impairment. It just makes me super uncomfortable to listen to; probably overempathetic. trying to work on it tho because i...

Ahaha Believe me - if I had a job with 100% no phones I would, but I've learned through the job hunt that it's impossible to avoid it entirely. Thankfully I only have to work phones an hour or so a da...

Can a person who has severe problem with stammering ( me ) do mba and become successful?

Can a person who has severe problem with stammering ( me ) do mba and become successful? I have a problem with stammering for pretty much all my life . In school days , during roll call , I would just...

I had a rough phone call today at work with someone being rude to the point of mimicking me and asking for "someone smarter" to talk to. I held my own and got through the call, but went home in tears ...

Glad you find my advice helpful. One thing you can do is write out a negative thought, and then write, “Is there any evidence that this thought is true?” If you can’t find any evidence, then by ded...

I don't really want to talk to my doctor about it. It's free in my country but I have too much on my medical record. Maybe anxiety medication won't make much of a difference...

Honestly, it’s likely a mild/moderate panic attack. Everyone has stress, we stutterers get extra fun things to stress over. Medication didn’t work for me, I just couldn’t tolerate it, but you should p...

Sounds like anxiety induced air hunger that’s exacerbated by focusing on taking a deep inhale, but doing it improperly. You can try focusing on long, deep exhales right now and see if there’s a diffe...

I stutter and I just spent the last 2 weeks being acting principal of my school

I stutter and I just spent the last 2 weeks being acting principal of my school I know everyone has different situations, but I thought I'd share mine. I have stuttered my whole life, although fairly ...

Usually there's more telltale signs when I'm feeling anxious like heightened heart rate, feeling jittery and just a feeling deep down. This is different. I assumed it was to do with breathing but th...

Idk. Usually when I'm feeling anxious there's more telltale signs. I'm not on any medication for it but I may ask for it if it helps. Maybe it'll help the stutter too....

Can you explain more by “getting out of your head”? I’ve never heard of this term before. Do you mean overthinking in general? Because for me I stutter if I anticipate trying not to stutter so I try n...

Don't worry! According to Babette Rothschild in the book "8 Key to Safe Trauma Recovery" it is not necessary to remember the details of the trauma to heal. Your stutter is 100% psychological. So you j...

It is good, unless they missed something but I doubt it. When I first started this job I had some really bad chest pains and got it checked out then. It's not the same feeling atm but it's annoying ...

I don't think it's because of it necessarily. I don't have it outside of work unless I'm winded. It's usually in work. At the moment I just feel embarrassed, I don't feel pressured or anxious but th...

Are you sure this feeling in your chest is because of your stutter?...

Try to ignore any negative thoughts. Just ignore them. Man, in the past I could have literally suicidal thoughts when I stuttered badly. So I know what you mean. But since I started to ignore the ne...

Story worth a read

Story worth a read I’ll make this short but I am a 24M with a strong stammer and stutter and have a great little story about my time in University in one of my communications class. Basically had to h...

Other people seem less bothered by it than I do, aside from the occasional person who seems like they don't know how to react. That makes me think that we aren't putting them through the same difficul...
