Idk what the formal clinical definition of a stutter is but that is definitely a common issue amongst stutters. Blocks have gotta be one of the most annoying parts as you feel helpless trying to say s...

Underperformed on oral exams :(

Underperformed on oral exams :( New to this Reddit community, but I’m glad to do it just to rant! I’m in my final year of medical school and I got back the results of my oral exam. I have two more an...

I am living with it. Mine is very severe when i can’t say a word without blocking, my blocks last for 10 to 20 seconds with tense face and shut eyes its very embarrassing but i have become completely...

I've been there. Strangely, right after I do a heavy workout do I slow down my speech natural and speak the smoothest. Anytime else, I block and strain my neck like crazy...

Is smiling/laughing WHILE blocking (no sound, no air coming out for several seconds) a good way to make it all less awkward? Like just laughing and smiling while you're actually struggling.

Yeah that’s gotta be it. Crazy when you think about it that our body would let us physically hurt ourselves rather than just releasing the block…....

I think you may be straining the muscles in your throat to push through the sound. Sometimes I have bad stutter days where I feel like I’m pushing through every word and by the end of the day the musc...

Sometimes I don’t know but, especially after the first of a particularly bad lot, every instance afterwards feels inevitable and I know it is going to happen. It is like being set on fire or suffoca...

In fairness to the receptionist, she tried to be as accommodating as she knew how. Severe stuttering can look like a developmental delay or a neuromuscular disorder and is very rarely encountered "in ...

If I'm about to stutter, I feel it at the back of my neck (or head). But not as anticipation > stuttering, rather as neck pain > I choose to stop moving my speech muscles (resulting in stuttering), in...

I find it difficult to control my pitch and now Im wondering if I’ve been using the same trick as you without realizing it. My parents used to tell me “stop whining” and I’d be like “Im not complainin...

Right! I wonder if the fear attached to speaking results in tightened neck and jaw muscles, then that in turn keeps your voice box and diaphragm from relaxing as well, making it an endless cycle...

I also have botox in my neck and I find it quite helpful as a nice side effect. I don’t know the reason but I find that the lack of extremeness in my secondary movements results in less stress and esc...

Success story

Success story This won’t be an option for everyone *** but I’ve been working on my speech for 15 years now. I have made huge improvements but I still struggle daily. I have ended up with such severe j...

Yes, secondary actions can be twitches and stuff. I've had different kinds that have changed over the years - very normal. It's your body reacting to an attempt to force out sounds....
