It's normal for a stutter to fluctuate and when it does, it can create a feedback of look of anxiety, stress a tension. Look at your life and your worklife. Is there anything unusual going on? Anythi...

I don't think I can relate on this level, but I certainly recognize it. Sometimes when I'm taking it easily I get close to no stutter. But when I forget to use techniques or just having a "bad day" my...

Hi, I can totally relate to you! I am also 23 and have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. The past few years it's gotten really bad. I believe it's because I've become more independent and...

I can personally really relate. I only have a couple friends I've really ever talked to in person about mine, and it's weird. If they bring it up (ask how my speech therapy is going, etc) I start to f...
