Q&A: Stuttering problem? Can it be fixed? >_< My Speech sucks!?
ByQuestion by Vianna: Stuttering problem? Can it be fixed? >_< My Speech sucks!?
Okay I’m pretty normal, No ADD/ADHD/Autism or any condition like that, I’m a smart kid…Except almost every time I try to speak to someone…I stutter and my words screw up..first i thought i was speaking to quickly, But when I slow down to think my words through first i just sound damn retarded. Especially around my boyfriend…It’s kind of humiliating.
Is there anything that can help this? Reading aloud? Or repeating certain words? Raping? *ha that was stupid* Just anything would help!

Try these resources:
there are videos online that show speech therapists working with stutterers; watch them and learn some techniques.
Meet others who stutter here
stutteringchat on Yahoo groups
Contact The Stuttering Foundation of America as that is where our family got help. Their book “Self Therapy for the Stutterer” worked wonders after working through it step by step. The book can be found here
Some medications that other stutterers have tried include lorazepam, citalopram, and buspar. Ask your doctor about trying an anti-anxiety medication while you are working on your stuttering. Be aware that your stuttering may be better than the side-effects of the medication, though.
Each stutterer is different, and a therapist who specializes in treating stuttering will be able to determine what will help you the most as they work with you.
