Hey , I'm in med school and I stammer . Don't let your stammer stop you from wanting to be a doctor . You've survived all the bad days up until now and you will in the future too . Just believe in yo...

Lower your expectations and relax a bit. Once day is not much. If it happens, acknowledge it, make a joke of it and move on. Honestly, in allot conversations, most people are more concerned about what...

I have stumbled on this reasoning really recently actually. THIS IS SUCH A COINCIDENCE. This needs to be TAUGHT at every speech class/therapy. Just work to STOP CARING about your stutter. Don’t dwell ...

Yes struggling to speak definitely has a toll on self expression.. And it's difficult to get rid of this. There are many strategies over the years, putting uhm before a word, change the whole word,. N...

Im in the phase of my life where im just so tired fighting and struggling against my stutter. Acceptance really is all i can do right now. Speaking is something that humans can do naturally and effort...

Excellent post. I’ve never heard of this method or those involved but I’ve used the walking analogy to explain to my friends what stuttering is dozens of times. I’ve also realized that I don’t stutter...

I used to stutter severely, and even though it’s gotten a lot better (I’m almost completely fluent most days) I still am rarely able to actually connect to people. I think having spend so much time ...

You're right. Without all that I did before to get rid of most of the shame of stuttering, I doubt I would have been able to do what I do now at the rate I've done it. People have their own journeys a...

Social opportunities lost

Social opportunities lost So today I was seeing some old chats in my phone with people (I’m still in highschool) and I realized, that due to this problem I’m literally unable to create strong bonds wi...

I had a minor stutter in college as well and you just have to throw yourself into new crowds of people all the time, I’m not going to lie I partied a lot in college too and I would always try to go th...

But in reality . Stuttering will limit your options in life. You can't be a doctor who can't even talk and ezplain to patients properly . And you can't work as emergency doctor either because you ca...

I think your absolutely right, but I might disagree with the "effortless" part. I try to meditate daily and it definitely takes effort to wake up 30 minutes earlier each day to make the time. Likewise...

And the stuttering just dies

And the stuttering just dies I didn't intend to go all out like this so soon in my journey, but I felt it was maybe time to address this mental itch. A cornerstone of letting oneself go and living mom...

Yeah I used to say 'um' in front of words to avoid a block. Will that stopped working as well I added 'the' which resulted in 'the um'. My "friends" made it into a rap. In hindsight, I strongly disc...

I don’t get stuck in certain specific consonants all the time, but just generally I find that rephrasing things when you can sense a stutter coming on sometimes helps. Or even after it’s onset, just ...

mmm bueno, pienso que debes buscar un especialista y que determine el porque de tu tartamudeo, ahora si es que asocias eso con situaciones especificas, pienso que debes evitarlas o sino hablar y decir...

I also mispronounce. But words with a missing letter, making one letter sound like another one and so on. For me it's as if my tongue and mouth muscles are a bit lazy or numb if I speak too fast, whic...

My stutter caused me a great deal of social anxiety as a kid a teenager. I overcame it by accepting it and telling myself that I don't owe anyone fluency. Took a lot of work and putting myself in posi...

A while ago I was ashamed of my stuttering. But now I don't think about others, I think about myself and stuttering makes me angry. In my mind the words are so clean, but when I go to speak Its so hea...

Very well said <3. If more people followed your advice, I think our Quality of life would increase dramastically. In my case, after entering university and gaining more confidence step by step, I w...
