I can whisper or sing and will not stutter once, also for me, if I am tired and run down my stutter is much worse....

Make sure you are well rested and anxiety-free. Hard to do, but it helps. I tend to stutter much less when I’m rested. ...

Yeah I’ve gone through the tensing as well. I used to be depressed about it, but now I just brush it off or get angry at the occasional idiot. The lucky thing is at this point in time in the world, ev...

Thats interesting, I am prescribed adderol for ADD but go off it every now and then (depending on the kind of activity I’m doing like work vs. vacation). I notice that when I am on it there are moment...

I’m a guy my man but it doesn’t matter why or how you were born that way it happened you can’t change it so it’s best to figure out how to live with it and idk if you do this but for me reading out lo...

For me, my stuttering is highly correlated with sleep hygiene. If I don't sleep 8 hours a day, it gets bad. It goes away by about 80% within 2 days of proper sleep....

Hello. I'd love to chime in here if I could. I think controlling stuttering is definitely an option. However, I think a more liberating option is to focus on speaking smoothly, clearly, calmly and...

Fair enough, this fluency shaping thing does sound exhausting. The McGuire Programme technique is nothing to do with changing the way a sound would normally be said, I think in Australia we call "flue...

I did HCRI, too, and I felt similarly. I find it pretty exhausting to both speak and/or use speech fluency shaping techniques. Some of the fluency shaping stuff can sound weird, too -- for example, wh...

I agree with this. Talking in general is very exhausting and I wish I could say that my stutter doesn't stop me but it does. Now I have made progress in changing my attitude about my stutter so it cer...

At the end of the day its your voice and speech, you should use it in whatever way you feel comfortable. The important thing is that you're communicating what you have to communicate and the stutter i...

Stress and when I get my period. ​ Or when I'm sick... stuttering with a stuffed nose is the WORST....

I have bipolar 2, and mine seems to come back while I’m in a depressive phase. While hypomanic, it’s almost nonexistent. It’s really strange. ...
