Reading out loud on my own always helps me mentally, because when I do so I don’t stammer at all, so it gives me a breeze of fresh air to hear myself talk fluently. It also helps me recognize I do hav...

I agree fully about the amount of energy used to hide stuttering.  It’s like a second job at times. You would have to be a member of the Ex-Stutterers' Club in my opinion.  The problematic side of st...

I was covert for more than half of my life and the energy and effort it took to hide stuttering was so much worse than just stuttering. I lost a long held job because of stuttering. The shame and guil...

It’s okay to stutter. I wish you the absolute best. Remember only you notice it more than others… they don’t hear ourselves like we do. We are our biggest critics. We don’t sound as bad as we think. I...
