My Stammering Issue Is Depressing Me by Drock49: 6:36pm On Dec 20, 2018 |
Hi, everyone, am tobi from ogun state, a tall guy in his early twenties, I'm a stammerer from birth but recently i have been noticing that it's been getting worse, I can't talk anymore in public without the fear of embarrassing myself. Everytime am on the net, searching for "How to stop Stammering" but up till now, no improvement, I have tried all method, but still no improvement, Each time I go out to buy something, I usually embarrass myself, sometimes I overhear people saying, is he deaf and dumb? I have few friends I talk to regularly, they do understand but not everyone understands, it wasn't as bad as this early this year or in the middle of the year, I just can't explain, Usually I talk fast, but people advise me to calm down while talking but even though I try to calm down I still end up Stammering, am frustrated, nothing is working, its even leading me to suicidal thoughts, am just tired, Ignore my typos, am just frustrated 19 Likes 1 Share |

It's not a disease neither is it a curse my brother. You're unique and amazing just the way you are and I encourage you to love yourself first and never let anyone put you down. There'll be people who won't understand or who choose to display there ignorant; ignore them and just live your life happily as much as possible. You'll get better or learn to overcome that challenge by keep talking wherever and whenever possible not to keeping quite....so face the fear and learn to enjoy doing so. God is your strength. 282 Likes 13 Shares |

Take it easy on yourself.. All will be well You can control and overcome fear of stuttering, speak fluently. You can also improve your nature of speak, such as - don't speak fast, do concentrate on phrase or words. You can improve your nature of speech by practicing some methods, they are: - 1. Physically and Mentally relax In this method, you can throw the stress and don’t worry about stuttering. You should relax your body and mind, this is as meditation. 2.

[You really have to calm down.. You don't have to be frustrated about something that's out of your control.. Many people has some sort of "I'm gonna kill myself" problem at some point in their lives, you have yours, I've got mine, you just have to deal with it like everybody else.. 6 Likes |

This helped someone we know , hope it will help you too.... Stammer intentionally when you are alone. There is a vast neurological scientific reason. You do not need to find the reason as of now. Just stammer with purpose for next 2 months. You will see the difference. When you are listening to someone or sitting in a group, do not focus on voice and sound of others. Focus on messages and perceive the environment in visualization mode and not on sound mode. Hope we can come up with more helpful tips later...... It will end in praise Tobi! 41 Likes 2 Shares |

Wow... This is something that's getting depressed over because I imagine how I'd feel having speech difficulty of any kind. I'm not a speech pathologist o but bro, maybe you can try talking to yourself when you're alone. That way, you'll communicate without any inhibition and you can even sing aloud when alone. If you're able to do that for some time, you'd see your speech confidence level filling up and you'll see improvements. 12 Likes |

I'm also a stammerer so I know what it's like to be one. But nigga, you gotta chill out and be patient with yourself. It gets worse sometimes and subsides again later. Don't let it put you down and bury your potentials. Consider it a puzzle you have to solve to become successful in life. God always has a plan. Never forget that 29 Likes 1 Share |

Bro you dont need to feel bad about your condition. You are not alone. never allow what u feel as a challenge to hinder you. The secret is never rush your words, stay calm always . Focus on breathing before a prolongedd speech. Make a conscious effort to always feel relax when talking. If when speaking and it starts, just pause a while, take a deep breathe, and you will be just fine. It could be bad atimes, and we tend to get angry easily. But trust me, you will get past those stages if you apply what ive mentioned. always try to take charge of your emotions and be open minded. Sometimes it comes, but not as bad as before. Dont alow it to ruin your confidence please. Use it to your advantage. 17 Likes |
