I so wish there was good help for people to stop stammering. So many people have different difficulties that are heartbreaking.

[@Chitchat502]

I too stammer alot especially when words starts with vowels sound. This made and feel me in struggling and frustration to communicate new people in my life. So most people think I'm very reserved person but innermost i want to make new friends

[@indoorgamerz9779]

i used to stammer a lot but then i got a job at call center where i had to speak all day . That helped me a lot and i am thankful that my bos gave me that job .

As a kid I remember I had to shuffle across the room to finish a sentence. Christ, I forgot how difficult I had it 😂 Then speaking on the phone in my early 20s gave me crazy anxiety, still does a little now. Most of my stammer has disappeared but pops it's head up during anxious moments

But what would happen if you would sing? I know a dutch singer who stutters, but when she sings, its all gone. 🤔

[@randypenajimenez3893]

We don't stutter when singing, no matter the severity of the condition.

​@@randypenajimenez3893 Some do while singing. Doesn't happen much. But some ppl who stutter also stutter when they sing.

Breathing is big part of it. Especially when anxious your brain forgets how to breath

If a person has stuttered since early childhood and still does by his early 20’s, the continued stuttering will probably have caused mental health disorders. Perhaps depression, PTSD, or some type of personality disorder regarding having normal relationships with other people. The medications that are sometimes prescribed for those disorders have been found to decrease the severity of STUTTERING among SOME stutterers. Another aspect is that effectively treating those mental health disorders may cause the severity of stuttering to decrease. In other words, those medications both directly and indirectly may decrease stuttering. Some of those medications are Buspirone, Zoloft, Paxil and Xanax. I will also say that no form of speech therapy will be effective unless those mental health problems have been adequately treated. I learned this "the hard way".

Stammering destroyed...golden life...

[@lotuspocus76312]

Its the muscle tone. In your belly.

[@lotuspocus76312]

I also feel like the mouth is too slow to process the fast brain.

Stammer can be improved through meridians therapy. Stammering is not up to the brain activity. It is the body energy that is crucial for stammering. Feel your chest area, you should have some pain around your chest area. Your back neck, under your head, you should have some pain as well. In some cases, the pain might be very sharp. They are the physical problems that cause your stammering.

[@CurseTheDarkness]

No it’s not.
