I wouldn't doubt that stutterers can develop RSD even without being ADHD/ADD so you may have some level of it. I take Effexor 225 mg and Lamictal 300 mg. The Lamictal has helped lighten my depressive ...

....he did speak to the manager, which is in the OP. Would that really have been possible if he knocked the guy’s teeth out, like you assumed? Reading comprehension dude. Being angry and righteously o...

ADHD/ADD and Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria

ADHD/ADD and Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria So, I've had ADD almost my entire life and I always had trouble in school by never doing my homework or studying. I'm prescribed a stimulant but I rarely tak...

you have my exact condition. I almost never stutter with my family or when I went to speech therapy. I literally NEVER stuttered at speech therapy. My situation is all blocks as well. I have pretty ba...

I've always felt that way.... ever since I can remember, it was common for me to be cut off by others while trying to speak... still happens till this day.. was never sure whether they cut me off beca...

I couldn't finish it... I had something kinda similar happen to me and just to note I'm an atheist. Well I'm in boot camp at the time and it's a Sunday I went to church with a few other guys so I can ...

Hi, I am a stutter who has presented her research at a couple of conferences, luckily just posters and small events. But presenting with a stutter is probably the most anxiety ridden thing we could do...

Sadly a lot of introducing yourself. This is my senior year in college and the first day is always a nightmare for me. Sometimes I don’t even show up to the first day of class to avoid it. In one of m...

I feel like some of the speech tools they teach me are very easy to practice in therapy. But then I get outside and the same tools are nearly impossible to use. Good point, I'm learning that a large ...

I agree that stress, anxiety, and social fear play a big part in stuttering. I like how you said "usual demeanor", because I feel this way too. It's as if the stuttering is linked to my normal minds...

Hi! I am a 21 year old lady with a stutter. Introducing myself and saying my name have always been a challenge. People always laugh and think I forgot who I am... that’s not the case at all. I know ex...

I'm also 99% fluent in speech therapy. Makes it harder to prepare for real world interaction. So instead of techniques I try to focus on the emotional aspect of it....

This is super common, but doesn't necessarily indicate that your stutter is a psychological problem. I used to be the same way in speech therapy in school. I'd go in wanting to stutter, so they could ...

I’ve definitely felt like that. And it’s okay to feel like that, and perfectly normal. However it’s also good to weigh the risks. If you stay silent, you run the risk of becoming depressed, isolated,...

Fluent in Speech Therapy

Fluent in Speech Therapy I am a lifelong stutterer. My stutter is mostly blocks where I know what word I want to say, but It just won't come out. I'm 95% fluent with my family, making them think I do...

Can I ask how old are you? I felt like this for years, all the way through school. It's really hard. But it does get better. As I got older (I'm in uni now, which is a better environment than school) ...

Embarrassed to talk to people

Embarrassed to talk to people I’m just wondering is it only me who feels completely intimidated at family dinners and never talks or speaks up as what I want to say I can’t. None of my friends have a...

Not sure about the movie lines, but reading a sign to someone else creates a "spotlight effect" that brings an element of performance anxiety. The Block loves performance anxiety. Easier said than don...

> Also, after that cut off I blocked. Ugh, yeah hate it when that happens. It's a really common thing, for sure. The feeling of possibly being interrupted makes us anxious to get it out before we ...

I don't think it's a causation as my blocks have become more apparent recently. But having that recent experience of being cut off really opened my eyes and made the correlation between the two. Also,...
