Yes!!!! I am the same! Thinking and worrying about sentences/phrases that I could/might stutter on is INSANELY draining and causes a headache. If I am sleep deprived even a little, I will get a headac...

Fatigue makes it worse. For me, the biggest predictor is time speaking. The more I speak, the more fluent I get until I get tired....

Sorry to hear that, friend, any condition that is worsened by a common cold is a cruel double attack on someone. I must admit that I have an opposite experience. If i have a fever and am sick enoug...

Proper flow of your breath is one key to fluency. If a cold has you congested or having respiratory symptoms, I could see where your stutter might worsen. As several others have pointed out, being ti...

No that definitely makes sense. I also know what sounds are more likely to trip me up and if I can avoid them in a sentence I do. I'm not sure if it's just me but I've noticed my stutter gets worse ...

I do agree " practice speaking" is a well meant but useless advice. It's different from " practice guitar" that's something you will actually get better over time. To the feeling of sensation: I do n...

Maybe you started to speak fast *because* talking was stressful and your brain decided “let’s do this quickly to get it over with. Let’s start quickly bc the anticipation is scary.” It’s also basical...

I am always told I speak too fast but to me, it sounds like a normal speed, it's hard to constantly remind yourself to slow down to a speed you aren't comfortable with too. A colleague also mentioned...

My native language is Mandarin. I stuttered when I was in kindergarten, and then my mom made me learn 相声 for a year. 相声 is a type of Chinese comedy show, similar to stand-up comedy. The basic training...

Stuttering

Stuttering Hi! Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to get this out of my chest. I have been stuttering since middle school. I believe it all started because I was and still talking very fast. I was...

I have a technique that I've used for 25 years that has helped me to only stutter in high stress situations and when I forget to utilize it. I use "slow & easy" speech. Learned it at a summer cam...

When I’m tired I stutter overall more but I have noticed that in the first 2-3 hours after I wake up I stutter less so in the last months I have tried to schedule all my meetings before lunch… During ...

Interesting. It's completely opposite for me. If I'm sleep deprived or hungover, my stutter is noticeably worse....

It can go either way for me. Either exhaustion DULLS my brain enough that I don’t stutter, OR the exhaustion makes me super anxious and I stutter constantly. My stutter is so frustratingly inconsisten...

If I sleep 8+ hours my speech is not that great. If I sleep 4 hours my speech is almost perfect. I don't get it either....

It's the opposite for me. When I'm sleep deprived my stutter gets a lot worse....
