Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don’t have a traditional stutter but I stammer my words a lot. As of late, I’ve had difficulty fluently transitioning from word to word and it’s heightened the mo...

I feel you. My anxiety around speaking can definitely trigger my stutter to start but the cause is genetic through my dad's side. Managing the anxiety definitely helps to just relieve some of that ten...

It’s mostly my dad and it’s mostly when I’m excited to talk to him. I rarely stutter around strangers anymore, mostly just family....

Although I’m a 31 year old women, I still totally understand you. You are not alone in this. This is a battle we are all fighting alone , yet together. This SUCKS. There’s no other way to put it. Bu...

I took mine through school and haven’t found much help but honestly if she really likes you she wouldn’t care for how you talked. (And 9.5/10 I’ve found that all girls think a stutter is cute) so don’...

Do the people with whom you more commonly stutter have anything in common?...

Thanks for your reply! I have not gone through any therapy. But definitely tried self therapy from online book. The problem is, when I stutter/block the anxiety is such overbearing which makes it har...

Should I be more open about my stutter? I think me trying to hide it is causing it to worsen.

Should I be more open about my stutter? I think me trying to hide it is causing it to worsen. The faces that I get when I'm trying to get a word out to altering my wording might be causing me anxiety ...

I live in constant fear of the phone going off at work. Thankfully it doesn't go off often, even less so when I'm the only person present. But just today it did, and I had to answer. Started with th...

I've experienced this and it's quite frustrating. I understand the person is trying to be helpful but what they experience and what we experience are 2 completely different things...

He needs and wants therapy for his mental health too, I think it scares him as much as the speech therapy because he’s worried his stutter will get in the way....

I think speech therapy might be more effective combined with normal therapy as well. Having a stutter gives me extreme anxiety sometimes and I've heard from others that it can be really exhausting men...

Well, yes, but it was because my therapist did a bit of talk therapy for my anxiety with ne before diving into speech therapy. Basically everything one learns in speech therapy is useless if they can'...

I have had that thought for 20 years when I made the realization that the fear of stuttering in a situation would trigger the stutter to happen, so I even tried going to a hypotherapist to see if they...

I do think that’s a stupid question, or at least a stupid way to phrase it. “Explain why you cannot be contacted by telephone call.” If someone can’t be contacted by phone it’s probably for a sensitiv...

23(m). I'm going through exactly what you've described. My stutter is very severe and i have crippling depression and anxiety. Never had enough money to go to a speech therapist or a normal one. I wis...

I know, you’re right. I think a part of me fears they’ll judge me or take me less seriously in some way. I know that’s my trust issues playing up though. God, what a mess. I’m not sure actually, I’ll ...

I know I need to be honest about it but I think it’s because I’m so scared of being vulnerable. Like just the thought of laying my insecurities bare scares the shit out of me but I know it’s what must...
