Got it. This helps so much. I didn't want to stare creepily and looking away felt weird. Also, this was new for me so I didn't know how to act most of the time. All I could do was be patient. So I hav...

I completely disagree. Having suicidal thoughts is not shameful and it is something that should be talked about more. 70% of all stutterers have suicidal ideation. Just imagine the percent in severe o...

Thank you for your kind words! Yeah growing up with a stutter was tough, especially the teen years. But I married an amazing woman that gave me the confidence to mostly conquer my stutter. When around...

Yes, I’ve eliminated caffeine and all refined sugars from my diet, and I’m on Prozac to address my anxiety. It’s helped a LOT with my fluency. Not 100% gone, but I’d say I’m 95% fluent now with occasi...

I posted this in another spot, but I think it applies here, as I am a believer, and have wrestled with God about this for the last 15 or so years. I’ve used drugs to try to expand my mind, figure out ...
