Hey man! I'm in college, my junior year and I will tell you, it gets easier. I went through a long period of depression and I'm somewhat still in it, but i'm telling you, it get's easier. Just like wh...

It's been said before on here, but there's no doubt that the worry and anxiety that stuttering instills in you is far worse than the actual stuttering itself. It really takes a toll on your mind. On...

Thanks for the comment, I agree it's not worth pursuing unless it's 2nd nature. Since your an extrovert I really think the first step you should take is try to learn to be comfortable with it, becau...

We only live this life once

We only live this life once ....why waste it scared of other people's opinions or reactions towards us? As I grow older, I come to realize just how much I've let stuttering limit me. I'm not confide...

Yeah that's super rough, especially when it catches you by surprise but Im willing to bet this experience is going to make similar situations not as scary in the future. And you can become comfortable...

What you wrote is quite inspiring, I am glad you were able to get to a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin and able to say what you want to say when you want to say it. I am 21 years ol...

That's a very interesting post Blaat1985. I'd especially like to know how psychotherapy goes for you. I've had very limited exposure to speech therapy. Spent the first eight years of my life in a lit...

This is how I feel man, on rare occasions I am outgoing, verbal and inspiring with my speech, most times yield the polar opposite. Thanks for the post man, I got some more relatable insight that helps...

Don't miss the forrest for the trees. You faced your fear and it came true. But what else happened? a) you successfully completed the task - congrats. That takes courage and conviction. Don't sell...

This is the day I face my opponent.

This is the day I face my opponent. Today is the day I face my stutter, head on, for a final battle against what has held me back for such a length of time. I am 18 and just nearing a half hour ago,...

Hey man (or gal), I definitely hear what you're saying. I think we actually have a lot in common in regards to our speech. I'm also a severe stutterer and my blocking has been particularly rough late...

Welcome. You can do it, just don't give up know that you can do it. And just know you are gonna get shit for it but its not that deep(something I learned in bootcamp)...

CONGRATULATIONS MAN! It makes me so overwhelmingly happy when I hear a fellow stutterer achieve his/her dream. You made us all proud. Good luck in the future, brother....
