I'm a fourth year in med school and also a stutterer so I can relate to everything you wrote. I also did not realize just how challenging a career in medicine would be for someone with a stutter. Duri...

I'm not reluctant, per se. While I know speech pathologists exist, it's not really a booming field where I'm from. My college just had their first batch of graduates, that's how "new" they are. And it...

"Lot on our plate" is pretty much the physician's mantra lol. Though now I'm probably gonna have to bite the bullet and consult a speech path. Testimonials have been hit or miss around here, which exp...

Thank you. While VERY FUCKING DEPRESSING LOL, your perspective is right on point and illustrates my crisis perfectly. And you're a lawyer, even better...we live in rather similar minefields where our ...

I've been battling with my stutter since I was born. In a few months I'll be a licensed physician. God help me...

I've been battling with my stutter since I was born. In a few months I'll be a licensed physician. God help me... Sometimes I regret going down this path. But I wanted more from life, so I went into m...

I find jobs like this actually improve your stuttering because you are forced to be social. I once got fired from retail for being quiet and reserved....

There will be plenty of other opportunities. It helped me to change my perceptions of interviews. Previously I viewed them as a nerve wrecking, scary situation where I was convinced I would stutter ...

Good luck and good on you for going for it. I worked as a gopher for an auto shop as my first real job and it was a great trial by fire for my stuttering, especially morning runs to Starbucks. Used ...

Wish me luck

Wish me luck I'm going to a job interview later for the place of a cashier in a convenience store. I know people will say its just a fucking cashier but as a stutterer talking to people on the fly is ...

That's exactly what happened today. I'm surprised how accurately you described it. Of course I opened up about a week after I started which made things a bit awkward to discuss because they were like ...

During interviews i really don't care if i stutter tbh even tho im only 17 and it doesnt matter too much now and it might it the future, dont be afraid to show yourself, everyone has cracks, some peop...

What you have to realize is that many stutterers haven't let stuttering ruin their lives and are successful at their passions. You mention that you struggle socially, which is common among stutterers ...

I had to go for a re-evaluation. Their doctor said I was no longer disabled after spending 30 mins with me. They stopped my payments. I could appeal but I wanted more out of life...

If you do not like interviews maybe consider other avenues. There are places likehttps://www.textbroker.com/ and https://www.upwork.com/ where you can find jobs that you can work from home with really...

Yeah people are shitty. Hell, one of the interviewers for a job I applied for was cracking jokes at me during the interview. "Might want to slow up there bud". "Bet you can't wait till this is over". ...

I did it. I was on SSI for 3 years before they were able to kick me out. My advice to you is to have as much documentation of your disability as humanely possible. I had years of back up. From a car ...

I was just thinking about this yesterday..with my stutter and terrible social anxiety I'm barely surviving in the work force people are fucking mean and horrible to you all the time, you hear people m...
