probably tiredness at the end of a long day trying hard not to stutter. it's exhausting....

My stutter is definitely worse when I'm stressed or have anxiety. Weird thing about my first period of fluency is I was severely depressed before it happened....

I've had a stutter my entire life, and I had about a month straight of my stutter completely being gone. I also tried to figure out what exactly made it go away. Like what changed. And if I could make...

I’ve never really thought about it tbh. I have noticed that when I don’t feel good in general I tend to stutter more. Maybe it’s just because it’s harder to focus on fluency when you don’t feel good. ...

female stutterers: does your stutter get worse around your period? i’ve worked hard on improving my speech and now im able to speak with fluency 90% of the time… BUT right around my period i stutter m...

I feel like working out helps me clear my mind, just put in some headphones and go at it (lift weights, run, bike, really anything active). I usually feel so much batter by just turning everyone and e...

Bike trips of 20-30km to places where there are no people. Long walks to places where there are no people. Physical activity in general, it always helps me a little....

Get outside. Go for a walk in the forest. A jog. A long bikes ride. Anything to ground yourself in your body and stop listening to your recurring thoughts. Dont go soft! You need to feel a sweat. You ...

what is different about your life now compared to start of covid? have you changed jobs, stopped doing a particular thing eg going out with friends, working out? mine got really bad at the start of t...

I try that in work but when I focus on it, I forget how to do it and end up stuttering more. It seems I speak better when I forget about my stutter and breathing. I also get a sore chest too, but I'm ...

Yeah, trying to speak is genuinely physically exhausting for me. I struggle and get so tense and I run out of breath and sweat, plus just having to be always consciously monitoring my speech is exhaus...

I'm in a position where I do have to talk to people. The biggest detriment to this aspect is I get pretty exhausted by talking. My social life has suffered as a result because I'm trying to recharge. ...

I just presented a final year project in front of 50-80 people all by myself. We are a group of three engineering students but only one of us had to present the project in front of a lot of people. It...

This seems entirely possible. I guess I never thought about it this way but that "stuck" feeling might also be the air rather than just a psychological / motor thing. It makes sense that I would feel ...

Is it possible you are running out of breath? One of the first and most important things I learned in achieving fluency was the importance of breathing. If you have exhausted your breath you can't sp...

Yeah it can be exhausting talking for long periods of time like that. Not if it’s with a friend group I’m really comfortable with, though....

Totally understandable and healthy if you ask me! Stuttering can take mental energy and discipline. Think about it, where other people would talk fluently and feel like it´s nothing, we have to put in...

I truly believe that talking takes a lot more energy when you stutter, both physically and mentally. I used to do a lot of public events and would always just want to zone out for a while after....

Early in the morning at around 7am- 8am you can go in some garden areas and then take a long breath in as much as you can and then release it slowly until normal. Do this 10-15 times daily. You can do...
