Kinda sorta just picked it up when summer came and I noticed I gained a little weight. Not a lot but enough to be self-conscious about it. So I was constantly walking around and working with taut/pull...

Trying to help my son but confused on this

Trying to help my son but confused on this My 7 year old developed a stutter 2 years back from some social pressures he was experiencing at school. I’ve helped him recover from this twice; I’m on my t...

Yes, I’ve eliminated caffeine and all refined sugars from my diet, and I’m on Prozac to address my anxiety. It’s helped a LOT with my fluency. Not 100% gone, but I’d say I’m 95% fluent now with occasi...

And dude that’s okay. Maybe now isn’t the right time. Obviously I’m not pushing you to do anything you’re uncomfortable with. I think my main point is to not assume the worst with these sorts of thing...

Long time lurker, finally saying hi

Long time lurker, finally saying hi Hi, figured I'd intro introduce myself. I've been around for a while, but just recently become more active on reddit. I'm a 52yo male, stuttered as long as I can re...

I’ve noticed that my speech is perfect and I articulate really well under the influence. Adjectives flow out of nowhere make it all sound really cohesive. But sometimes my brain goes brrrr…when there...

Address your anxiety and that’s half the battle. Then work on fluency shaping techniques and take note of what substances/foods/beverages exacerbate your stutter. Everyone is different. For me, caffei...

Makes perfect sense to me. Winter fluency problems potentially stem from less sunlight, colder air, increased tension, and lower serotonin/vitamin D, all of which disturb the delicate dopamine–GABA–au...

Well done! That takes a lot of dedication and focus. I view it holistically as well. Breathing, managing my dopamine levels and stress/anxiety and trying to get quality sleep, which is very important ...

Gabapentin might help in several ways: 1. Reduces neural over-excitability → smoother signal flow in speech-motor networks. 2. Calms autonomic arousal → lowers the internal “pressure” that can trigg...

I am a medical student and I struggle sometimes with stuttering. I agree with u, in summer it feels like i barely stutter, winter feels like hell though, no technique is helping me :(...

That’s an interesting observation and I applaud you for reflecting on what makes your stutter better or worse. For me it’s caffeine and refined sugars. I’ve heard of other stutterers becoming more f...

I think my stutter gets better in the summer

I think my stutter gets better in the summer Like over the summer I worked at a summer kids camp and I barely stuttered at all with the kids even though I was talking to them all the time. But now I s...

Start taking Magnesium, L-Theanine and Vitamin B1 every day. If caffeine & sugar makes you stutter and tense up more, stop drinking it. Replace with a calming tea like lemon balm or chamomile tea inst...

My Professor is a Stutterer Too 💪🏽

My Professor is a Stutterer Too 💪🏽 My paramedic professor is a stutterer. It’s was refreshing seeing someone like me in the same boat standing in front of the class lecturing us in A&P. Even through...

I could never feel comfortable stuttering on purpose. What i did is to study fluent speakers. I discovered that fluent speakers use a steady and comfortable stream of air when they speak. The same way...

Does anyone else have an almost OCD-like issue with breathing that may impact their stutter?

Does anyone else have an almost OCD-like issue with breathing that may impact their stutter? My father (non-biological) stutters, so that's certainly where I picked it up as a child. However, I do rem...

Fr talking with stutter is physically exhausting Like I can't speak more than 5 minutes or something to get a little break...

It's just tiring

It's just tiring You know sometimes it's not even the fear of embarrassment or negative feelings after that keep me from talking... it's just draining and exhausting to talk. It's physically tasking ...

basically the same- friends and family. i try to get rest- my stutter mostly happens when im scared or stressed....
