Ah, my friend doesn’t know, people might be aware that I have some problem speaking but they don’t know I stutter. I’m like, I can manage my daily life and such, I can go do stuff and talk to people ...

This is just tripping over your words or getting tounge tied, it is not a stutter, you do not fear every social interaction every single day of your life, please don't pretend you know what it's like,...

>The severity of my stutter is definitely **determined by my anxiety (which I do not take medication for atm)** That seems like something that should be addressed. If you know the relation, do som...

Thanks for the insight. The severity of my stutter is definitely determined by my anxiety (which I do not take medication for atm). I've never taken Xanax, but compared to other medications, the side ...

Doesn't work for me. I suffer from anxiety and take an occasional xanax for it and it doesn't affect stuttering. But I suppose if your stuttering is caused by or exacerbated by anxiety, it could be be...

Xanax for stuttering Ive had a stutter my whole life. In this past yesr it has gotten really bad, and now there's a lot of added anxiety just making it worse as well. Doing some reasearch I found repo...

I'm the same. Even though it's counter intuitive to how you usually try to say it. I find if I breath out and start the word half way through the breath even if it feels weird to start a "t" sound or ...

It helps me to remind myself that very few people in the room will actually be listening to me at any one point, and even fewer care about what I'm saying. It sounds a bit sad, but it's mostly true. ...

It did boost my confidence, but the confidence kind of disappeared after my fluency lessened. One thing I have found that helps is anti-dopamine medications. They get rid of excess dopamine, which hel...

Hey there! As I read your post I could see high school me. I also started stuttering around 4th grade (I was 8), just like that out of the blue. Completely neurological, all those speech therapy seeme...

I hate when people who are fluent slip up and stutter on a word and are like “whoops I did a Claire.” Stuttering is not a joke or an accidental one time slip up. I think about every sentence, every si...

I'm a 15 year old guy who also stutters. In my case, I used to be afraid of social interactions and I'm still in some cases. What has worked better for me is thinking in what I want in life: Do I want...

I know everything you’re going through, and the unpleasant answer is that, for me and i assume many at least, stuttering never completely goes away. I was fortunate i guess and had speech therapy, but...
