To be honest I don’t know. Sometimes the block is so heavy and I feel so helpless that I wish for someone to pull me out of my misery and shame. But it is not so easy. Feeling so ashamed is part of t...

Yes it's annoying asf. It gets soooooo old and tiresome. I guess we must keep trying and going forward though. ...

You've got to play the hand you're dealt. Just like any other person living with a disability, the world is cruel to us and too them. The best we can do is learn to live with it. Personally, I don't...

for me the key difference is whether it's affecting your voice, or other parts you you physically i.e. heavy blinks/face scrunching, body movements, trouble breathing, etc. in an effort to get the wor...

There is 'stuttering severity' scale which measures the percentage of syllables stuttered if you want an objective measure of outward stuttering. However it doesn't take into account a lot of other ...

so if i say less that id like to because of my fear of stuttering that would be severe ?...

Severity isn’t about how much you stutter, but about how much it affects decisions that you make; for example, saying nothing or less than you’d like to because of your fear of stuttering....

Same exact situation as you. I have a more severe stutter, practically muted because of it. Been trying to get a job but I don't think it would be possible for me as of right now. All the jobs near me...

It is a complex issue, it's like being a handicapped and being not a handicapped, questioning a mature would solve our stutterers problems someday. Work on yourself, do what make thinks you that solve...

I understand where you're coming from, and your feelings are valid. I've wondered what "acceptance" means for quite a while with regards to my stutter. Is it just not caring? Is it constantly picking ...

Then what else are you going to do? Sit there and cry? Nobody can help you besides yourself. There's no cure, no magic pill, no nothing. Acceptance is the only way to retain some modicum of happiness...

People are more disaffected than ever and doomer stuff grabs at so many stutters and says "you can't do anything, you'll never be perfect, give up." I try not to regal people with my struggle or get h...

Yeah because like what else are we supposed to say? Yes it fucking sucks but there's nothing better for you than just trying to live your life despite the problems, expose yourself. Locking yourself ...

I was watching a movie "About Time" and I was wondering if getting to live the same moment twice by reversing time could help us talk more fluently? Knowing at which words we get a block. Haha. I comp...

This. As far as modern science knows, there is no better option or treatment known at the moment for stuttering. Hell, we don't even know the cause - how are we supposed to treat it, then? It's a ho...

It's not that your problems don't exists or people have told you the right thing for you, the exposure therapy advice sounds like bad, but you also can't expect people to be able to provide you with p...

I feel so heard right now 😭 I’m in the same exact boat, I block on almost every word I say and the blocks last between 10-30 seconds. Getting a full sentence out fluently is AMAZING for me. I feel...

I agree. when it stops you from getting jobs and having basic conversations, there's no way you can accept it. we don't get disability for it so it does affect us our livelyhoods....

I'm tired of this community gaslighting people.

I'm tired of this community gaslighting people. Why everyone advocating for people to just "accept" their stutter? Do you know that some people are simply not capable of that? Y'all must not have a se...

I apologize for being a downer. It’s really ridiculous. Yeah, I want to move forward but I don’t know where to go...
