What do you guys do when you're having a really bad day?

What do you guys do when you're having a really bad day? Had quite a bad day today regarding my stutter, I try to not let it affect me or my life and I like to think im getting better but (as im sure ...

i only drink water and most of my meals are homemade. i never add sugar to my tea or drink those high calorie sugary coffee drinks (hate coffee only had it once and it was awful) maybe it could be p...

Thanks! I can already say that I'm not anxious at all about my appointment, so I may be in the same situation as you described. It will probably be different talking to someone who I'm literally pa...

Glad to hear you're doing well! I also went to see a speech therapist for a few sessions, the ironic thing was that when I was talking to her, I barely stuttered once. She found it really hard to bel...

Yea dude it sucks cuz very few people understand us. Many of the hardships we go through most people will not experience to the degree that we have. People are attracted to positivity and repulsed my ...

Back in the beginning of 9th grade, I told myself that I cannot let my stuttering impact how I live my life and be afraid to say or do anything. I could not prevent myself from taking risks or stoppin...

I am just going to YOLO.

I am just going to YOLO. I am getting over my stutter. It is getting in the way of what I want to do and getting the grades I need to succeed. Yah its annoying but today I just YOLOed and told peop...

Some simple pieces of advice from a successful white collar professional who, you guessed it - stutters.

Some simple pieces of advice from a successful white collar professional who, you guessed it - stutters. Dress sharp. Go to a Dermatologist for those blemishes you've been trying to get rid of since ...

Thank you! I don't think I "triumphed" however. As I said, there are few days where I do not stutter at all. Still, it no longer controls my life. I no longer stay indoors or refrain from making phon...

Always uplifting to read about someone triumphing over their stutter :) Good on you and all the best!...

I think that depends on how you define "practice". I went from being pretty much unable to speak (coudlnt string together two syllables without blocking) to it being nearly undetectable. I have very f...

practice different speaking targets ( easy onset, light contact, stretching, full mouth movment) i think there is like 7 or 8 more. These will help with breathing coordination, muscle coordiantion, wh...

I think it's different for everybody honestly. I went to speech therapy for years as a kid & found it to be completely useless. There isn't one magic cure all that is going to just make someone st...

Cool answer. Thanks. Any ways what can I do to help achieve better fluency while speaking to people? Practice talking to people despite it?...

If we practice daily, we could get to a level of fluency where our stutter is undetectable. But we don't? lazy?

If we practice daily, we could get to a level of fluency where our stutter is undetectable. But we don't? lazy? I remember 6 years ago i was in an intensive fluency program( 2 months), and by the end ...

Great job, man! Your thoughts echo my own. Got to put life first and the stutter will take care of itself. ...

Agree with this 100%. It's tough, believe me I know. But ultimately, we're responsible for how we interpret and how we react to it every single day. Blaming "life" and simply feeling sorry for ourselv...

Thankfully I've been lucky & have never been unable to do anything I wanted due to having a stutter. The only thing that has ever stopped me in the past is myself. If you're anything like me, you...

I think there probably was when I first started, but only because of my attitude, not my stutter. I spent a lot of energy doubting myself & being pissed off at the fact that I was selected to be a...

I consider myself close to full fluency. I was a very severe stutterer throughout high school. I planned to go to college but ended up chickening out and just lived at home for a year, not doing muc...
