Looking for someone to speak to

Looking for someone to speak to Hi all, I’ve struggled with a stutter for almost 20 years. There are videos of me speaking fluently until about age five, and then it began. I’ve been told it stems fr...

THC causes surges of dopamine in the brain, and stutterers already inherently have a dysregulated dopaminergic system. This would explain why THC in weed would exacerbate stuttering. Probably differ...

Same , I asked the same question to chatGPT few days back lol , usually weed play with your brain and mess up with the motor speech wiring which is already messed up and results in stuttering for few ...

Like some people with an actual neurological stutter find themselves fluent when they get really mad or as you said life or death. It’s weird how the brain works. But I stutter when I’m alone, with my...

Not everyone who stutters “thinks faster then they talk” that’s a common misconception. A lot of people who stutter have a neurological problem & there’s no “overcoming it”. While I’m happy for you. ...

You don’t really think in words, do you..? You think in concepts, and then pass those concepts through language to interface with the world...

I relate to this 100000%. Like I know I would be a lot farther in life if I didn’t stutter. My stutter holds me back from so much. My professors in college would pull me aside and tell me that I write...

Correct. And is not just dopamine. It’s a fine balance between all the neurotransmitters involved in the fine tuning of the speech motor neural networks. Dopamine is just one piece of the puzzle, bu...

There’s no test unfortunately. Typically, if your stutter is sensitive to dopamine swings, then substances like caffeine or sugar will exacerbate your stuttering, like it does for me. If you find ca...

Hey , How to know Dopamine level ? Is there any medical test to Determine Dopamine levels ?...

Latent temporomandibular joint dysfunction and stuttering.

Latent temporomandibular joint dysfunction and stuttering. I see so many desperate people writing here, many writing about suicidal thoughts and so on. I want to give them a little hope. There's a lot...

It seems most people who stutter are fluent when alone/talking to self/reading out loud and much more fluent when talking with close friends/family. But in the end of day no one really knows what caus...

All those symptoms you describe prior to a block are caused by anticipatory anxiety, which raises cortisol levels and adrenaline and dopamine in your brain. This affects us physiologically by exhibiti...

All of what you're describing is stuttering. The precise timing and coordination required for speech starts in the brain. Stuttering is far more than just a speech problem. The region of the brain th...

Does anyone else think they don’t exactly have a stutter/stammer, but a damaged nervous system? And the outcome of that is a speech disorder that gets triggered around people?

Does anyone else think they don’t exactly have a stutter/stammer, but a damaged nervous system? And the outcome of that is a speech disorder that gets triggered around people? Sometimes I am able to s...

I found the key was teaching your brain what it means to be fluent. I learned that I was breathing wrong based upon the Valsalva response. After stuttering my whole life I am finally fluent. My brain ...

In my research I have discovered that I have a stuttering brain. It affected my breathing patterns which caused me to stutter. Once I understood the importance the Valsalva response in relation to stu...

A theory of mine about why singing and rhythmical/melodic speaking doesn't get affected by stuttering disorder Brain's typical laterality for speech production goes like this: The right hemisphere tak...

I am a true stutterer because I have a stuttering brain. When I rewired my brain I became fluent. It took a long time to teach my brain what fluency actually means. What really helped was that I am a ...
