Feeling Down. Don't know what to do :(

Feeling Down. Don't know what to do :( I don't know what to do. This year I have been trying to adapt a change about my stutter and I have made some changes but they're not big enough changes to reall...

I’m exactly the same. It’s infuriating. I haven’t repeated a sound since I was 7 or 8. Just block. 99% of people don’t know I have a stutter which is a blessing, but the constant word swapping is exha...

He’s just wants to “be able to speak right”....his words not mine. Im definitely hypersensitive being a person that stutters myself. But you make an important poI think- thanks!...

I would give a +1 to cbd as well. I honestly don't think it could hurt. My stutter was definitely on the severe side when I was younger. It was very frustrating.. Sometimes around 1996 my parents ...

I was on the speech team my senior year. It was tough when I didn’t do well but super rewarding when I did. A few times I had to stop because I lost confidence, but my best piece was in a duo which ma...

I have never tried this technique, but it's getting the initial word out that I find difficult, I sometimes clear my throat or cough to almost get the persons attention or I find if I say "yeah" befor...

Yeah, I'm exactly the same way. What's weird is that once the other person understands the word I'm trying to say and says it for me, it suddenly becomes easier for me to say the word. Similarly, at r...

I really understand your frustration, I speak a lot with people I know, even if I stutter, I just keep going, and I don't mind to laugh about it. The thing is with people I don't know so well, I just ...

I most often know in advance when a word will become a struggle, which at least gives me some time to think of similar alternative words. The problem is that it often makes me choose to stay quiet whe...

I can come across as very quiet with people that don't really know me too well, because it's a lot easier to stay quiet that talk sometimes, so when someone at work makes a joke, I've got a great come...

I hate that feeling waiting for your turn to say your order as the server goes around the table, I always do the pointing at the menu thing, for some reason I find it easier if the person already know...

Wife still does this to me far too often, we pop into Starbucks "can you get me a caramel latte while I go to the toilet" ...

Once I helped get coffee for my friend, and she wants something I don’t usually have because I cannot say the name to order it, and it’s “large ice mocha latte” ... The guy was chill about it, just co...

I think this is why I talk so fast, when it's going well I just want to get it all out, anyone else been told they talk fast?...

Yup same thing happens to me. That’s probably why we all got A+ in English class haha. We’re always having to look up different synonyms for words. But yeah I feel you. When I’m in conversation I’m ...

I go through the same thing. I tend to avoid certain words when I can. When I'm a restaurant ordering food I only choose items that I know I'm not going to mess up. So even if I really want the spicy ...

Yes. It’s so bizarre that I can describe the place without a stutter, but I can’t say the place itself. Thanks, brain!...

Yea I know it too, but sometimes there’s no word to switch with the words I’m going to say. Like... food/ drink names.....

Do you know when you are going to struggle getting a word out?

Do you know when you are going to struggle getting a word out? When I am trying to have a conversation I already know that I'm not going to be able to say a word so I am constantly changing what I'm a...

Why is it a problem if you're going to stutter?...
