Never did speech class cuz school j didn’t think I was that “bad”, but definitely tried this on my own. I read aloud random articles I find online and work on sounding things out, kinda to compensate ...

What the other person said; I’ve gotten in this habit of talking on a beat, and it can sometimes help, but many times i feel like it prolongs my speech blocks as I feel like I can’t speak unless I com...

Bench press and squats Just kidding. Wouldn’t focus on getting rid of it. Focus on making it manageable and less controlling of your life....

> For example, my wife knows that when I stutter she should just be quiet and patient, unless I specifically ask her to finish a word for me which is rare. I absolutely HATE when people finish my ...

Yes definitely but not as much since I’m out of high school. My stutter came back during high school and I went from having I guess a normal life to isolating myself from my peers and family members. ...

Thanks for the reply! I've noticed a general decrease in stuttering when I try this, but this also results in a lot of my responses becoming deadends. Sort of like a "why did I start talking? What is...

Well done! (Edited for ease of reading...) ​ On Stuttering ​ Hello Family, While we are as different as snow flakes (while not being “flakes” or “flakey”) LOL ;-) I’d like...

I've just recently started taking propranolol mainly because my stuttering heightens 80% of the time due to anxiety. The other 20%, I can't explain. I only take it if I know I have to talk for long ...

I’ve stuttered for as long as I can remember and I am 26. My anxiety around it has kicked up too within the last year making my stutter more prominent, or at least that’s what I believe in my head. ...
