One of the first things I found out when I starting connecting with other people who #Stutter (PWS) is that an awful lot of us feel pretty fluent when talking to our pets and other animals. This dude gets lots of kudos for listening to me yammer endlessly to/at him when all he really wants to hear is that it's mealtime again. #MightyPets #MightyTogether
Two jobs ago, I submitted a career profile to the National Stuttering Association's We #Stutter @ Work project, a collection of first-person accounts showing how unstoppable #Pws are: westutter.org/team/madeleine-maccar #Stuttering #stutteringawareness #womenwhostutter
I wrote an editorial about International Stuttering Awarenesss Day 2020, which ran in 21 community newspapers: thesunpapers.com/2020/10/21/editorial-supporting-those-who-stutter
This whole year I've been working with my doctor to get leveled out with my anxiety which is causing my depression. I've had to increase meds recently and find it's more difficult for the correct words to come out, I know them, but it's as tho they've gotten lost somewhere in Neverland between the brain and my mouth. so between having to completely hault my sentences and find my words or tell people to let me start over because I've started talking to them halfway in a sentence or thinking out loud of why things are and/or conclusions on my own AND THEN I started stuttering again. I had an impediment as a child but went thru classes and therapy...the evil beast bears it's ugly face....
Hi
I have a chronic stutter and I’m 25 years old. Is there hope for me if I try to get a speech and therapist?
As a young child I was told it would go away on its own, I was it was a hereditary trait that everyone eventually loses. However I’m now a 25 year old woman who struggles to communicate her thoughts eloquently because of the fear of how I will be perceived if I do stutter.
So I end up chopping and changing actual words I wanted to say to synonyms which eventually end making what I wanted to say, loose meaning. It’s incredibly embarrassing and I do think my anxiety is also exacerbating the severity of the stutter.
What truly scares me most is that I will eventually have to undergo interview processes. I’m afraid I won’t be considered because of my condition, regardless of my qualifications and abilities.
At the moment that is the only thought running through my mind because I currently am unemployed and going through the worst #Anxiety and #Depression
I’m not ashamed of my mental illnesses I’m proud of who they made me to become a braver stronger beautiful young woman who inspires other people with her smile!#Depression #Anxiety #BipolarDisorder #Stutter
