What kind of therapy have you tried, and for how long? It took me about 2 years of weekly therapy to become fluent. I still have blocks, but it has changed from excessively long blocks on m's and r'...

I know how you feel. There are tons of scary stuff just out of high school. I also have a pretty heavy stutter, took an bachelor in psychology and thought to myself that "I can just work as a research...

Good news! People in college are a lot more mature and understanding when compared to high school, at least in my experience. Get out there, stutter every now and then, realize that it's not such a bi...

My stuttering and anxiety only improved when I stopped avoiding speaking situations. When we find a way to get around speaking we reenforce the stuttering narrative. There will be a time you have to s...

For me free speech therapy in the public school system didn't work, but it has worked for others. I gained fluency through building up my self-esteem and confidence. Also by being put in situations th...

My worst years were teenager and into college. After graduating and setting down, my speech got better (no speech therapy) with confidence and less stress and anxiety. My speech got better as i accept...

I gave a best man speech yesterday in front of 220 people. It went FLAWLESSLY. I nearly broke down in tears at the end after realizing I just did it perfectly after stressing over it for 2 years. Doze...

Message me I'll let you know. Its mostly about pacing yourself, relaxing and taking your time when you can in the situation....

> I just feel like the "you can be anything you want to be, and don't let stuttering impact anything" mindset is something that feels really good to believe I think you misunderstand the spirit of...

Many stutterers seem to believe that every, or even most, stutters are just like theirs. And while a lot of us share experiences and feelings, every stutterer is different. Just because you feel limit...

I'd feel worse telling an adolescent to give up before they try. I'm sorry you gave up. There's still time to rethink that. ...

You're telling people to give up. That's the last thing an impressionable kid needs to read. I'm not sure how people would define my stutter now, but when I was a kid it wasn't mild. I went through ti...

I agree and disagree. It depends with situation. They're are times were I don't stutter at all, and this kinda gives confidence that I'm somehow cured then all of sudden it gets real bad. This makes i...

I love everything /u/babyjet321 said and second all of that. I think high school is the worst time to be a stutterer, personally. You're in a place where you want to be an individual, but you also hav...

I want to act when I'm older so it's important to me that i can be confident etc. Thankyou for your help I really appreciate it. (I literally just joined this sub) ...

Can't say, it's personal and pretty unique to me. But that's why I encourage everyone to go on their own journey - there's hope to beat this if you feel it's down to anxiety...

I don't have any advice for you, I just want you to know I'm going through the same problem and frustrations as you. It's tough, but we can't let our stutters prevent us from achieving the goals we've...

You don’t want to start avoiding things because of your stammer, that’s just a slippery slope. You can’t let it beat you. Try to get some speech therapy as early as possible, the younger the better, a...

Some think that stuttering on the name has not much to do with the sound - that no matter what your name is you are likely to have a hard time with it. I think the sound does make a difference. Plosiv...

I had speech therapy on and off for several years while growing up. It gave me techniques to deal with my stutter that I still use today but overall I think it was being forced to speak at my job that...
