I know a lot of people like to say that it's just the nature of stuttering. But let's try and analyse what could be affecting our speech more on some days. This is a topic that has troubled me a lot. ...

hey I totally relate to this. my stuttering is very severe and sometimes I think I'm bound to fail in all aspects of life, because my stuttering prevents me from expressing myself properly. a lot of p...

You've not always been like this and you'll not always be like this. You know this. Don't take drugs to numb yourself. Confront what you feel and pick yourself up again. We have all walked down that r...

always fluent, unless it's a nerve wracking dream about public speaking then my mind replicates that old fear to a T...

Did you read the Valsalva book independently? Or was it recommended to you? Have you completely overcome your stutter or does it continue to return in times of general anxiety/frustration?...

Yeah. Stuttering is so random. I do not get it ...

I was also more fluent, when I was a bit drunk. But it's interesting that in the past few years, my speech started to worsen under alcoholic influence. So maybe that can also change over time....

Thank you!! You are correct. We should never become complacent. I am on the right bath to beating it but still the uncertainty of it all just gets to me sometines...

You don't accept the stutter, you accept the lifelong struggle to beat it. And I mean lifelong. I'm kind of like you, I've had recent success and it feels great, but I've also had days where I've regr...

Stutter varies over time for all of us. Careful that you're not just experiencing placebo (lest you spend money on something you don't need). The anecdotal is fickle like that....

Big changes (new job/first job), toxic work culture (talking about people behind their backs), and putting too much pressure on yourself are all common things that can make our stutters worse. Meditat...

In my experience, stutter tends to come and go in various ways, in various areas, with varying degress of severity....

Stutter varies a lot. It's one of those things where we can surprise ourselves constantly, because we never know what to expect. That's how it is for me, anyway - what I consider stable and unstable c...

I was always fluent in my dreams until about 5 years ago. Then my stammer crossed over and I've stammered in my dreams ever since. ...

I think... I'm not quite sure how this fits together, but this: -When I let it get to me. I mean, yeah, I stumble sometimes, but it's not news anymore. I'm almost 40, I've been doing this for over 3 ...

I'm the same with different sounds on different days, and it all depends on if I'm having a tense day, if I'm unwell etc. Thanks for letting me know Kaitlyn ;)...

Yep. Blocking is pretty common among stutterers. I have it, most of the stutters I meet have it. It can get worse with age but it can also get better. Depends on how you approach it. I don't know abo...

So true, there is no rhyme or reason to this condition. You can speak several long sentences fine then you hit a block from hell out of nowhere. That's what makes it so emotionally exhausting....

it's not a super anology, but this is what John Harrison's take: >Why Are Speech Blocks So Unpredictable? For years, I used to bite through pencils in frustration, trying to come up with some logi...

What you say about the days blending in really hit me. Since I left work I haven't really done anything in the day apart from feeling low and frustrated. The only days I remember being happy is at t...
