Trying to get to the root of my late onset early stammering

Trying to get to the root of my late onset early stammering The first time I stammered was when I was 22, I wrote it off but noticed that it would come back at time over the years. Now, I used to use ...

It's just pretty hard to do presentations and such, mostly from anxiety though. It is something I'm slowly working on though....

Currently on my masters. I'm terrified of doing my presentations, both because of my stutter and overall anxiety, but I try to keep in mind that I can't let this fear lead my life....

Xanax helped my stutter a lot, just by reducing the anxiety associated with my speech. Unfortunately, Xanax is really fucking addictive and there is no way my doctor would prescribe it to me, and I do...

Stuttering in PhD

Stuttering in PhD Hi! Does anyone here is in PhD and also stutters? In my case I have to do lots of presentations (some of then in italian, which is not my mother-tongue), so I try to speak as much as...

It depends on what you mean by mocking. I can only think of 2 or 3 times that's actually happened to me, and most of those people were under the age of 18. The vast majority of time, what feels like...

I have soooo many good comebacks and can think of many so quickly but my stutter just won’t let me say them...

I usually stay quiet and just feel really awkward. But this recently happened to me when I was ordering food. I ordered and the guy mocked me, but this time I told him I have a speech impediment and h...

i have disclosed to probably around 500+ people now and most of the responses were - oh wow good on you, that's great, good job, you sound really good, etc, etc. People are rarely negative ( i think i...

I appreciate the tough love here. Honestly, there’s been more than a few times over the years where I’d decided enough was enough, made an active effort to stop avoiding words, worked on pausing and b...

I would either say before you begin or find some way to allow them to know before hand. If these are competent oral examiners with experience then they should be aware of stuttering as a uncontrollabl...

Viva is an oral examination, so its important to speak clearly during a viva. Stuttering makes you looks like you don't know shit, which automatically leads to low marks. This is why I wanted to tell ...

You just described anxiety in your post. You don’t stutter if you’re confident but that’s hard to do if you’re anxious...

What are you talking about ? Anxiety causes stuttering especially social anxiety. You get anxious when in public causing you to stutter. If you’re alone you don’t have anxiety? And how the hell are yo...

If your stutter is caused by anxiety than this won’t work. Anxiety is involuntary. You can’t control it It just happens by itself...

I think you need to deal with the anxiety - That is feeding everything here it seems. I've been a lifelong stutterer, maybe that's why I don't let the anxiety get to me. I think you need to do some...

Just a Rant

Just a Rant Bombed another job interview. Playing dumb to avoid saying a word can work, but that’s not the time or place. Oh well. I had a stutter growing up, but I had more or less grown out of it b...

This raises an interesting thought. Firstly, I am not a therapist or scientist, so what I’m about to say is an opinion of mine, derived from my childhood. I believe it’s possible to develop a stutter ...
