your life is what you make of it

your life is what you make of it Over the past 2 months I've: - knocked on doors for politicians I supported (I'm a democrat living in a red state) - Made telephone calls for said politician - v...

Thank you! You're completely right. I honestly don't know what I would do with art. Although I primarily think of my stutter as this ominous curse, there is that one exception. ...

This is beautiful! It is truly amazing how the arts is such a powerful way to express how we feel. As a classical musician, I feel that if I didn't have a stutter, I wouldn't be as musical and express...

Not to push meds or anything, but I've had really good results with a small dose of Lexapro (plus, it has zero side effects for me). Apart from that, just feeling confident and happy with myself usual...

Just a reminder . . .

Just a reminder . . . . . . that although Joe Biden stuttered, everyone in r/pics still thinks [he was totally hot] (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/5cgo2z/young_biden_looks_like_hed_steal_your...

Fluent. Meditation and improving my awareness. Nothing is purely physical or mental. Your mind affects your body and your body affects your mind. Becoming aware and listen to your body and mind is ...

This is a *lot* easier said than done, but actually what helped me is forgetting about it. I've only ever achieved fluency on little occasions at a time, and then somebody's pointed it out to me and I...

Its funny, currently I'm studying abroad and I introduce myself with a different pronouncing. Since I do that I never stuttered at all. When they ask for my name I'm usually scared at first but I alwa...

I have problems with both my first and last name. It sucks since that's usually the first thing you say when you meet someone, or anytime you have to give your name to someone on the phone. I'm a bit ...

We had a new guy applying for a professor position in our department once. He gave a trial lecture in front of staff and us grad students. He stuttered a bit. I had never seen anyone else around me st...

I want to add on to this. The time I broke out of my comfort zone was when I pushed myself to become President of one of my school's organizations. That meant giving a speech every week basically. Now...

Today i applied for a PhD scholarship without even thinking about my stutter related to teaching. Just wanted someone to share with Im a pretty heavy stutterer. Have done some McGuire things but its n...

Here is something that helped me just a little bit. Personal Grooming. Dress well, look good, eat right, go to the gym and be the best you can be. Here's the thing. I felt anxious cuz I felt inferior ...

I think that boils down to you - the less you care about it, the less you will be bothered about it! Good luck :)...

Heh, I've learned to live with my stutter, but learning to live without pizza...well shit...not sure if it can be done....

So I have to decide between stuttering and pizza? I might have to think about this one......

Certainly fair point! I am speaking only from my own perspective and how it has changed as a stutterer. I used to think exactly like some of the replies in this thread. Can never claim to be right abo...

I feel ya, interviews have been a nightmare. Shits frustrating when you know you're capable of showing them more than you did. For me, a lot of that anxiety has come from trying to hide the fact that ...

My stutter fluctuates. I do a lot of work on the phone at my job, and some days my sentences are basically "Hi - um- this -um - is..." as I use "um" to get past blocks. Other days I am better. I would...

Thanks for the comment. Forgive me if this is strong, but you haven't lost any opportunities because of stuttering. You've allowed yourself to use that as your excuse. Things that might seem like curs...
