I would be the same. I find too that in certain situations, when my stutter gets really bad, my chest has started to become tight/sore. I don't understand why as I've never had this before, at first...

Hey, I’m 21 and hearing stories from older people who stutter is somewhat inspirational. I know the struggle. I’m currently staying at my dads (parents are separated and I used to live with my mum) ...

I get the "energy drain" too. I felt it recently at a party I went to. Already dealing with physical health issues and the stuttering drains me so much. decided not to talk alot at the party, was much...

I stutter too and it’s totally a disability. I won’t even argue about that. I feel the same. I’d rather not speak or pretend that I can’t because it’s just so draining and exhausting and after that my...

it’s not about fear. i sometimes choose not to talk even around my family and friends that i know don’t mind that i stutter, purely because speaking is physically exhausting and i don’t always have th...

Man, this is exactly what I keep saying. Sure the embarrassment is a part of why I hate speaking, but it's also just a hugely exhausting physical struggle even to say the simplest things. It's painful...

i’m simply Tired i’m in my 30s and have been stuttering my whole life. been through it all, ignorant parents, speech therapy, bullying... i know i don’t have to tell y’all what it’s like. talking sim...

My stutter is mild but I stutter so bad with friends and family, I'm comfortable with them but it's usually one of the worst scenarios. If I'm out of breath or wearing a mask (covid times) I would al...

Working out actually helps my stutter less. It does help me be more confident in the way I look and it improves my mental well-being. Both of which help my stutter....

I go to the gym 4 times a week, I can confirm this doesn’t work, does mean people think before taking the piss though...

by the way its totally makes sense because when i stutter i ran out of breath...

Yeah stuttering sucks but speach therapy can actually help. Also try reading a book out loud as well. I've noticed that my mental health is the biggest thing that makes my stutter better or worse. So ...

Just diagnosed with ADHD. Trying to connect dots with how it has affected my dealing with my stuttering

Just diagnosed with ADHD. Trying to connect dots with how it has affected my dealing with my stuttering I often say, I have been tired since the day I was born. The last 6 months or so the fatigue wa...

I know a few reasons that I can think of. Since I started this job, I've gained maybe a stone in weight which isn't great, I've also coincidentally started getting this chest pain and chest tightness...

Yes, my stutter did get better. I started stuttering in 1964 due to what I’d consider, pretty horrific family dynamics and issues at the age of 12. I am 69 now and speak quite well with only occasion...

Burnout

Burnout I was working 40 hours in the space of 3 days (2 of them days being 9am-2am back to back) and I recently added a day to spread out the hours. I’ve been trying to work out why my stutter has be...

You are burnt out and should get a small break from working if possible of course. Other option is to try out meditation and clear your mind. Same thing happened with me when I was overworking....

Late to this but wanted to respond from the other perspective, as the partner of someone who stutters. (We got married recently, dated for about 4 years before that.) You should definitely tell her wh...

From my experience, less sleep does that to me too. Not all the time though. I think that’s due to adrenaline because you’ve not got a good sleep I’ve tried breathing technique too but that doesn’t h...

Possibly, but it isn't consistent either and it pisses me off too. It is exhausting but it still doesn't make sense. I've went into work with less than 5 hours of sleep and would stutter less, somet...
