Thoughts on 'throwing yourself in the deep end' via a new job?

Thoughts on 'throwing yourself in the deep end' via a new job? I currently work in a restaurant as a waiter, and for irrelevant reasons I'm considering leaving. This requires a lot of speaking - but a...

I understand that point of view, and as a person who had a severe stutter for a good majority of my life (I'm 29 now & had a severe stutter well into my teens & early 20's), I can't help but f...

My Story and How My Stutter Improved (a bit long)

My Story and How My Stutter Improved (a bit long) **My Story** Stuttering began to take control of my life starting in about 8th grade. It was very severe throughout all of highschool (getting progre...

I'm just concerned that I'll be on one of my "bad" days and will mess up an interview because of my stutter. I'm mostly looking for advice on how to deal with general stuttering and interviews. I'm in...

I never wanted to before, but once I mentioned it during an interview it was like all the pressure was off. If you can take even a fraction of the anxiety out of an interview, do it. ...

Stop caring so much can be part of the answer, but it's about as useful as telling someone to stop being nervous or stop being human. We can develop ourselves to care less, but that usually comes only...

And the funny thing is that they never had to deal with this discomfort, so for them the solution is just "relax and you'll be the most fluent person possible"! I get all the good intentions coming to...

"Anyone else ever feel as if their mental state considerably suffers from stuttering?" This is the main impact of stuttering for me. The mental state suffers incredibly. ...

I find that I don't really care what most people think. I'm far tougher on myself stuttering than others are. ...

A little late to reply here. I also struggle with pronouncing the first syllable of the first word in a sentence; after that, it's relatively fluent. One thing that has helped me tremendously has been...

Follow up in person if you need to, interviews are important. A couple of times it helped me if I wrote things down if I had to talk on the phone. It didn't make me fluent but it helped a bit with an...

I'm the opposite, I'm worse in person than over the phone. Any reason for why you are fearful about explaining yourself over the phone? Hope it goes well btw!...

Starting to stutter at 18

Starting to stutter at 18 I've been quite stressed out recently as my dad is currently being prosecuted for assault against another man. I haven't spoken to him for the past 2 months. I have started u...

All we really have on the stuttering side is speech therapy. I'd recommend tackling both the stutter and the anxiety at the same time. Because they are so connected any improvements in one area will m...

I'd like to talk to you, in fact i would very much like to have a friend that i can relate to. Stuttering ruined my school life and now that school is over i'm stuck home 24/7. I play games to pass ...

I just started lexapro but I haven't experienced anything yet besides upset stomach so I'm taking half the dosage for the first few days just get used to it. This may be in my head but a couple of tim...
