It feels good not being alone in the world

It feels good not being alone in the world Sometimes I feel incredibly alone and isolated, I feel sorry for myself, and my hatred towards everybody else grows steadily as I go further and further into...

Nope never!! jk, I try to keep perspective because I also have really easy days when the words are just flowing out. We all have difficult days. It's important to remember that they wont last foreve...

I would just like to say thanks for your comments, smashed the presentation out of the park today! Only one minor stammer than pretty much only I really noticed. Today was a good day :)...

I just got tired of it. I got tired of being the victim; the fish going into the shark tank; the quivering sinner awaiting judgment by an all-mighty God. It's not an easy switch to make and my experie...

You can't live like this. You can't thrive with such a fearful mindset. Aren't you just over it by now? We're the same age, and I've done my share of presentations and I've fought against this mindset...

I'm actually in college right now. I've considered registering with DSS (Disability Support Services, as it's called at my school), but haven't for a few reasons. First and foremost, I don't think th...

The way I see it, I would like to be 'cured' but if it doesn't happen, then oh well. I've formed good relationships with other ppl so far so it's not too bad or debilitating at that. I think I've come...

Psychology of stuttering

Psychology of stuttering I want to use this as a place where we, as people who stutter, can share thoughts about our relationship to our own stuttering. I'm 24, male, and I'm a moderate/severe stutter...

Was your plan to advertise from the very start or was /r/stutter a motivator? Either way, I'm very glad that you got the internship and that even though you stuttered, it didn't effect your demeanor d...

If you wanna learn more about the stuttering mechanism, there are a lot of good books out there. But we still dont know everything about stuttering and how it works or exactly what happens, so I would...

Yeah Ayahuasca is weird one. I originally heard of it from the Joe Rogan Experience (Podcast) and I was curious to see if anyone had a positive affect from that treatment because you hear countless pe...

ayahuasca, man you've really done some research lol. I actually had a friend who tried it but it didnt do much for him and didnt help his stuttering. I dont recommend any of the other drugs you listed...

way to go! thanks for the update and hope you remember this the next time you inevitably get worried about judgment over stuttering. Best of luck at the lab!...

Well I do know some excellent SLPs who are pws, but I think I know even more who aren't. And they totally get it. Oftentimes I think they get it better than me, so dont count them out. Being fluent is...

I stutter and work as a project manager. Which basically means I am on conferences calls and in meetings all day. I can usually get sentences out, but sometimes I stutter. I've learned to stop myse...

I think you're probably right, about speech therapists who truly understand stuttering. They are probably in the minority. I was hoping actually that I would see a speech therapist who was a PWS thems...

Hey man, no worries. I stutter and I think I'm doing well for myself. I'm a decent scientist (working on my PhD), I TA several courses, give poster and conference presentations and regularly have to s...

I feel like I messed up in college and allowed my stutter to keep me from being more active, but I don't think it was the ultimate reason I didn't finish. I now have a job that pays well and forces...

google stuttertalk. link worked for me. As for the conference, I dont know why you cant go or where you are with your speech, but if you ever feel lost or are at the end of your rope, you must go the...

I'm about halfway through therapy now and not going to drop it because I do see improvements. I definitely stutter less, but situations where I get anxiety do bring it out. I can't really go to an NSA...
