I'm lucky in that I have a job where my coworkers are patient with it since not everyone has that luxury (I know I didn't always have it). The severity of my stutter changes pretty randomly month to m...

Mine got worse after my baby was born. My child hasn't picked up on my stutter...

Agh, I’m so sorry friend. I think it may have gotten worse when i was pregnant, but I’m not sure if it was that or the social isolation (i was locked down due to covid so didn’t go out or connect much...

Do you have someone you are comfortable with, that you can train to speak slowly with? For me it started when my son suddenly started stuttering (I stutter as well of course). A big part of his ther...

I stutter less with xanax. I usually take one before an interview. And stimulants help my stutter significantly. Although these things are not a long term solution. Maybe we just need to ride our stut...

Overtraining has had a huge negative impact on me. I’ve had days where I’ve felt lethargic following a day of heavy weight training. My stuttering is at its worst when I’m tired and sore throughout th...

Lifting lighter seems to have helped me a bit (i.e. when I don't need to tense up my body that much). Is that an option for you?...

Hey, sorry for the late reply -- I don't visit here often. Indeed, I have taken on weight lifting again and have noticed my speech regression immediately. I think it's mostly due to overtraining/lift...

Any other recent changes that may be impacting your fluency? Lack of sleep? Stress? Change in diet (caffeine, alcohol, meds) or exercise? Wish I could offer something helpful....

Maybe that was it, I can’t remember if I was tired Wednesday. But I felt groggy and couldn’t wake up when I was working. Today was like Thursday. Not entirely bad, it had ups and downs. I had a family...

I noticed you said you were tired at work. I don’t know if this applies to you but typically when I’m tired my stutter is worse. Being aware of that could allow you to be more lenient on yourself duri...

Well, for me it's that sometimes I start heavily stuttering right before I will breath again. Basically stuttering at the word before I will breath which then goes like this. I am running out of bre...

There’s a difference between taking deep breaths and using the breath to overcome a stuttering block. I basically cured my stuttering after learning costal breathing - as in taking a big breath and th...

For me, it's having to run what I am going to have to say in my head before I say it out loud and if I know I will stutter on a word, having to come up with an alternative word to use that may not hav...

Journaling is a powerful tool. Not just for stuttering. Journaling allows you to keep an objective record. Our memories are pretty selective and biased. You might find all kinds of associations yo...

Good idea. Absolutely detail everything: times, sleep, diet, location, weather, mood, situation etc. You never know what could come of it over a year. Keeping a diary in general is a good idea...

Mouth Breathing vs. Nasal Breathing

Mouth Breathing vs. Nasal Breathing Is there a link with stuttering?...

In my opinion it has to do with brain waves and the brain probably being at the peak capacity it can be at, this is going to be hard to explain so please bare with me. Children’s brainwaves are more...

Help with my 10yr old son’s worsening stutter

Help with my 10yr old son’s worsening stutter My son has stuttered since he was around 3-4 years old. It’s a part of who he is. Nobody really acknowledges it bc we don’t want him to feel bad about it....

My guess is because when the stutter occurs or you think of it, the flight or fight response is activated, you feel that pit of fear in your stomach and that takes energy; over just a few minutes/hour...
