I am also skeptical of any negative relation between exercise and fluency. Given that we stutterers have so much trouble with just simply talking, I really don't like the idea of giving up things we ...

Maybe, though it's a second time something like this happens. I will continue working out for a month of so, since I'm a bit isolated. If I'm not going to see any progress even when conversing with my...

I’ve been lifting weights for 15 years and have had periods of time when I wasn’t lifting. I have never seen a correlation between stuttering severity and weight lifting. In fact, my worst periods of ...

I lift quite heavy and have never noticed it affecting my stutter negatively. It clears my mind and makes me more relaxed which also allows me to speak more fluently or not care as much when I do stut...

Exercising is impairing my stutter

Exercising is impairing my stutter Hey, so there have been few times in my life where I've taken up weightlifting with, sadly, negative results for my stutter. This time I was only exercising at home...

I have ADHD and stuttering is an everyday struggle for me now. I used to not stutter as a kid/early teen, but i guess i started stuttering around 14. Im 17 now and its gotten worse, but kind of change...

I'm on concerta since last winter. It was making my stutter worst at first but I eventually got used to it and now it can actually help. My mind is less scattered (on a good day) so it's easier to not...

Stuttering and ADHD?

Stuttering and ADHD? I’ll make this short and sweet: does anyone here have ADHD/ADD in addition to a stutter? If so, how have your experiences been different than a regular PWS? This can be anything ...

I’ve been stuttering since 4 years old, and I’m currently working towards my masters. I’m not in law school, but I have to speak often, take part in discussion groups and presentations, and give case ...

Happens to me too, especially when I get little sleep for some reason. Hang in there. Remember - the most important thing about stuttering is acceptance. Took me the longest time to finally come to ...

Hey! That's awesome. Congratulations! I hope it works out for you and you can work on pinpointing issues with your speech, and get some work in. I think speech therapy as an adult can be beneficial...

last week i somehow turned my sleeping schedule around and now i’m back to sleeping 10-12 hours a day, like i used to, so it could’ve been literally anything I think! But the sleeping is a possibility...

Cod the tics derive from the fact you're not sleeping enough maybe? Idk i'm not an expert. Anyways i'm happy you're becoming more fluent, and the fact you're gonna stream games will give you some more...

Mine started around the age of 4 or 5, was pretty bad through middle school and high school with anyone other than my really good friends, then has steadily improved since my early 20's. I'm in my lat...

Habitual behavior is indeed a curious thing. I can find it exhausting to carry out a conversation sometimes, but I imagine you must be absolutely knackered most of the time... Do you ever exhibit (p...
