Medication question I have social anxiety and depression (self diagnosed) I am 19, male, managed to get a full time job in a field of work I actually enjoy but only got this because my father works ...

Sounds like you've got the right attitude. I've made the mistake too and know the anxiety about phone calls. Good luck. Definitely a process and journey. ...

It's not cringy but will damage your professional life if you keep it up. One of the best things you can do as an employee is be a good communicator. Stuttering has nothing to do with this. That sai...

I once almost skipped a class because I thought I would have to do one of these. I had a class with the professor before and we did one. I came in halfway because I thought I might get dropped if I di...

My observation is that it doesn't make me stutter less but it does help with the anxiousness, the body of the 'iceberg'. Anything that quells that is helpful in some regard. I'd take it even if I didn...

Yes. I still can't say "True Detective," which was a very frustrating thing in 2014. The "cashier / person at desk while people are behind you" thing is absolutely mortifying though. I always feel li...

It sounds like a great way to see the world and live out what many people only dream of. Just to play devil's advocate, I will say that many countries outside of North America and parts of Europe vi...

You clearly have a confidence that I don't have. I've tried so many times to pretend to be confident and sure of myself. Then with each successive stutter that confidence fades away to where I present...

My advice is to go head on, do everything you want in your life and DO NOT let stuttering get in your way. If you speak confidently and happen to stutter it is not that big of a deal. HOW you deal wit...

Hey man, im 17 and have gone through a similar 'isolated' phase, no friends, the fear, anixety, the exhaustion and depression. It really sucks. But by simply making the decision to change your mindset...

This comment is going to be long. Sorry in advance. I wish I knew what caused my stutter. I am a 22 year old woman and have stuttered since I was 9 years old. It sucks a lot to have to deal with thi...

Props to you for doing many interviews per day, you're definitely winning that battle. I can't go to the store without feeling anxious, lol. I would be angry as well if someone did that to me on the p...
