The sole reason I joined the Army was to see if my stutter would improve because I've heard stories of that being the case with some people. I can say that it has improved a lot. I'm not as scared to...

Well, I had back to back IEP meetings and stuttered through the first pretty bad. I didn't let it phase me much and I said all I needed to say. Overall I'm happy I got through it and didn't avoid muc...

During your drug consuming years you probably ran out of shits to give about many things, including the stutter. Same thing happened to me (minus the boozing and the drugs). I stopped worrying. ...

I had a moderate to severe case of covert stuttering through college (I still do, I'm just far less covert and have more control - thanks, speech therapist). I hid it as best I could and it caused me...

Wow I only found this subreddit today too, that's weird! Yeah I'd love to offer some advice! I'll try to organise the answers the best I can. First of all, our situations seem to be very similar. I'...

Informal therapy back in grade school. I guess you could say that I was a covert stutterer up until about a year ago. Now I fully stutter (even around my family which is a bit weird). I'm available ju...

Does anyone ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't developed a stutter?

Does anyone ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't developed a stutter? I always wonder what I would be like if I never developed a stutter. I feel like I'd be a lot more extroverted and wo...

I haven't received therapy, but then again I can hide my stutter pretty well. PM me if you're interested!...

If you want to do avoidance reduction therapy, the biggest thing that trips me up and holds back progress is not being super clear and focused with my assignments and moving up too quickly. You really...

Thank you.. I've got another one coming up. What helps me is reading and I extend the vowels in my first few words like "Heeeeellloo, hooow are yoou?" It might seem strange but you'd be surprised how ...

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I know for a fact it is in my head since the opinion of my SO in terms of my sexiness is what I care about and even though he reassures me I've seen vid...

Talking can be embaressing but as soon as the conversation is over I completely forget about it. It is daunting speaking to people I don't know but I'm just used to it I guess. Think of it this way......

I never used to worry about stuttering during interviews but lately my stutter has been far more extreme, and as it happens I'm looking for a new job and have had interviews. I've taken the same appro...
