Did anyone else start at age 18?

Did anyone else start at age 18? Hello all, I've just come here to tell my story. One day I woke up with a severe stammer. I just couldn't speak, I could only say about 10% of the things I wanted to....

Agree with this. Actually, I think disfluent speech is in and of itself not the biggest issue. The issue is that there is a societal assumption that disfluent speech = lack of confidence, reduced inte...

At least for me it certainly makes me less likely to actively participate in a discussion for fear of embarrassing myself. Sometimes I don't say anything because what I want to say has words I know I'...

A dysfluent pattern of talking in which nervousness or anxiety is the only time it occurs is not a "typical" stuttering pattern. Dysfluencies occur due to various etiologies. It may be a secondary beh...

I have this. I stammer when anxious and also have tourettes ticks when stressed. I stutter regardless but it is extremely worse when in social situations. You're not the only one....

"Stutter isn't caused by anxiety" for me, this is bullshit. Of course, stuttering *does* cause anxiety, but is also caused by it. The thing is, stuttering has two roots: emotional and physiological. ...

I think I might stutter but only when anxious?

I think I might stutter but only when anxious? I find that whenever I get nervous or anxious, I end up stuttering slightly around people. I've read that stuttering isn't caused by anxiety but the othe...

I'm not a professional, but I'm pretty sure depression can have an impact on stuttering. I know anxiety causes stuttering for a lot of people. It seems like they would be directly related. I've alw...

> some people get really embarrassed and uptight about their stuttering. It's not necessarily embarrassment. I think for some folks it may stem from having folks fill in the wrong word once too of...

In my experience, alcohol does make my stutter progressively worse. I think of myself as quite desensitized of social anxiety while stuttering in my daily life. Alcohol though makes me more self-aware...

Stuttering, stress, and breathing

Stuttering, stress, and breathing Hello all, I had huge stuttering issues as a young child. So much so that they almost sent me to special school. After years of therapy and working hard at it, I g...

Captain, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry about how you were treated. I wasn't treated that bad, but I was made fun of a lot when I was younger. Do you stutter a lot less now that you've been taking anti...

Just wanted to drop by and say hi. Thank you for sharing your story. Here is my story. I began to stutter around 4th grade when I moved to a different school 2/3 of the way into the school year. I gu...

you're going to run into a couple problems -- 1) Intoxication produces more than one change (thus you have inextricably linked dependent variables): alcohol impairs motor control (particularly coord...

What helped reduce my stuttering was getting prescribed to citalopram (generic Celexa, ssri), it took about two months to take into full effect but it lessened the anxiety that came on whenever I tal...
