I hide it all the time. I'm very sensitive to embarrassment. When I'm not at home I often have earbuds in my ears to avoid people from talking to me. My neutral face expression looks angry according ...

I hide it. Now, it's become part of my speech pattern. I don't use "uhhhm" but I will elongate my syllables. I developed this because, when i used to use the uhhh-way, people assumed I had forgotten w...

Thanks man. Appreciate it. I guess this time, I failed to collect my thoughts and regulate my breathing pattern. I'm not going to give up, though. Looking forward for the next time. Good luck to ...

Thanks a lot for your response. I've never tried Xanax or any other anxiety combating drug. I've never even seen a speech therapist. I live in India, where speech therapists are hard to come by an...

Sounds horrible man, sorry it happened. I've had a few bad moments like that too and worst with me is I will immediately break out in sweat and turn red, making me look even more uncomfortable/unprepa...

It works that way for me too. Hard to say which one comes first. A chicken and the egg story. The problem with this is the downward spiral it leads to. I'm trying to keep that in mind, but the longe...

I find it correlates with general mood. im not sure which way it goes though: am i stuttering more because i have been feeling down these last few weeks; am i feeling down these last few weeks becau...

I've tried several drugs (mostly recreational). Of all the drugs I've tried, I've noticed these seem to have some effect (probably just a placebo): cannabis, kava root, alprazolam (xanax). The latte...

For me xannax really made a difference in my fluency. It think the anti anxiety medication slowed my brain down enough and I was using therapy techniques I learned at an early age. The downside was th...

I think for the people who have used pills and supplements it has worked for them only because it has reduced their stress/mindset around speaking in general. No pill is going to cure it indefinitely,...

I don't think there's really anything that helps. Stuttering has neither a known cure nor a known cause. If you find something that helps, by all means go for it, but it may just be a placebo effect. ...

Yes, I have seeked professional help and many other ways of correcting my speech. But, most of it is due to anxiety and shortness of breath. His techniques address that. I have noticed a better change...

Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety!

Something that really helps my stutter and speech anxiety! I'm 19 years old and have had my fair share of blocks, prolonged sounds, and many other speech problems. I found a YouTube channel called "Vo...

"before i answer that, i would just like to let you know that i do have a speech impediment so will probably need some extra time to answer." just say that after the first question (assuming you havn...

I'm the same way. I gotta learn to pause and start back up again. Mostly it's my nerves though that really decide when I'll stutter....

Yup, must be the stress of finals around the corner but my speech has been going downhill the last week. Chin up, trudge along as always. ...

From my experience, stuttering is caused by some sort of brain activity that is not letting you think enough about speaking. In my experience, that activity is social anxiety. You probably don't stutt...

How does it make sense? I don't know. For me it always depends on how relaxed I am. When I am really excited about something, I stutter with almost anyone in front of me. However, I noticed that espe...

Yep, exactly the same. In those times, even when you're not talking you feel "pressure" in your chest and know you'd stutter if you started talking. It comes and goes for me. ...

Had few good weeks recently but last weekend got into an argument with sister which got me pretty pissed and it went downhill. Funny how such little things as 10 minutes of arguing can affect your sp...
