I do sometimes have good days. I used to have them a lot more in years past than lately. Most of my days involve struggle and preplanning when I speak, but sometimes I'm able to say what I want with m...

Do you guys have actual 'good' days where its much, much easier to talk? For me it seems like everyday is consistently a struggle to speak, like it takes so much preplanning, word choice, and focus to...

Yeah same with me...I was also super talkative before the stutter got bad. I think it was okay up until the middle of highschool when it took a drastic turn for the worse. Like even in grade 8 and gra...

If I was you I would try speech therapy ASAP as I heard for some people, especially young kids they managed to overcome their stuttering with early intervention. It also started as mild blocks and rep...

It's so frustrating when my stuttering is more frequent and I can't figure out why.

It's so frustrating when my stuttering is more frequent and I can't figure out why. Like a lot of people who stutter, the frequency of my stutter changes. A lot of times it's related to stress or chan...

It’s crazy how many of us are fighting the same silent battle. I get that urge to escape and just breathe without fear. But the fact that we’re still working, still speaking, still showing up — even t...

I'm in America. Our president at the time, Joe Biden, had a stutter and was openly mocked for it constantly. I guess it proves that you can do whatever you want, but you are handicapped and it's imp...

I think I have a stammer

I think I have a stammer Idk, I don't stammer all the time, I hardly ever stammer in front of my mum so she doesn't think I have one, but sometimes I just find it so hard to get words out, and its onl...

I hope your feelings can turn into something more positive. Stuttering is so exhausting. I have an extreme stutter. I also have physical tics that happen as well and I will literally hurt my neck. Ple...

The phase 2 double blind placebo controlled study didn’t have a large enough group effect, it helped a subset of people who stutter but it wasn’t enough to lead to a phase 3, this is why there’s been ...

It’s not necessarily a funding issue, the response rates in the phase 2 were just underwhelming. It still helped a subset but the group effect just wasn’t enough. There is however a problem with the w...

I’m 20. A few years ago in speech therapy I remember saying I saw no future wherein I would have a job where talking was required much. The last three years I have worked a lot on my speech and I now ...

Lots of practice and focusing on the message. The crutches (now called strategies I think) is very helpful for that. Regarding being hard on yourself. I guess you just have to reflect on it and see ...

OP didn’t cure their stutter, they are just riding the high of a good period....

You bring up a fascinating topic. One that is worthy of a conversation and not just a singular response. As I get older, I am more in line with this possibility. I think changing cognitive behaviors...

43/m. I was able to gain much more control over my fluency in my 30s. How? I'm not 100% sure. As a teenager I did some intensive speech therapy. It helped but I still really struggled.. I can say that...

same here i honestly think as i age its getting worse and worse. I have met another stutterer like me who had a more harder stutter to the point they sometimes can’t breathe if they stutter....

Thank you for your encouraging words! But I think this advice applies to mild or moderate stutterers. I have been a stutterer near all my life and had been to a few therapists. When my stutter gets r...
