I tried Abilify (Aripiprazole)

I tried Abilify (Aripiprazole) As dopamine-antagonist seems to be the most helpful drug for stuttering, i give aripiprazole a try. I got it prescribed for tourette syndrome, which i also have. &#...

Can't start to speak because of blocks

Can't start to speak because of blocks I feel I can't physically talk anymore when outside. I'm afraid that when I try to say something my voice will get block and embarass myself. My fear is mostly a...

Part of it is probably ways you are trying to subconsciously avoid eye contact. Try to make normal eye contact - this is actually a huge way to ULTIMATELY get your brain to feel less ashamed, which l...

Sometimes, I’ve never stuttered when talking to law enforcement officers under the pressure of potential tickets or charges...

Stuttering Faces

Stuttering Faces I (31M) make really weird faces when I start stuttering while I am talking. And that makes me really self conscious and increases my anxiety. How can I stop making weird faces when I ...

No but if I turn on a camera I start stuttering...

Sometimes. But I think it's because even if I'm alone, I am often talking as if another person was there. Usually a particular person. I do it more when my anxiety is worse...

I'm way more fluent if I'm not particularly comfortable with someone. Once I start to get comfortable with someone, my stutter gradually gets worse. I'm guessing it's a matter of letting my guard down...

I know what you mean. For some reason, I always stutter less when I'm put more to the test, usually in situations that are new to me. It's weird....

Wait it depends on which pressure tho For example, when I gotta say something to my whole classroom, I don't stutter. Orh idk it depends a lot...

I'm more fluent when I have to speak in public. If I'm more comfortable, I stutter way more. I guess I just feel like I don't have to try when talking to friends and family....

People who have regular panic-based blocking and avoidance behaviors absolutely legitimately can say “regardless of how nice people are, this has a massive negative impact on my life”. They need supp...

happened to me when I was talking to a cute girl I liked in the chiller at work. blocking on every syllable. was awful. to be fair she didn't laugh or look awkward or anything. just awful to make her ...

I know that anxiety can worsen your stutter, definitely learned this from experience. But i am not sure if the "men experience stress more than woman" part is true. My dad and I very similar when it c...

AMEN so that. That’s a hell of a ballsy move. I’m a lawyer and I chickened out of litigation practice because I’m too scared to face talking in court. Even though I know I’d be an amazing litigator. M...

It could be due to the fact that we are hyper aware of ourselves and our emotions when trying to make a good first impression. I notice I do tend to have more blocks when speaking to my husband and mo...

You still lack empathy for others, that fact that you also have a stutter yourself just makes it worse. You're ridiculing people just like a non stutterer would, you'd think you'd be able to empathize...

this happens to me all the time too. i’m actually surprisingly fluent (for the most part) around new people. do we think this is because, as part of existing, us humans meet so many other new humans t...
