The Nightmare Of Having A Stammering Problem

I am not sure if you are a person who has a stuttering problem. I am not sure if you know somebody who has a stuttering problem. I have lived and coped with the speech impediment known as stammering or stuttering and am happy to say that I have now been fluent for the last ten years after learning how to eradicate the stutter when I was twenty-two years of age. Life in these last ten years has never been so good and lets just say it is one million times easier now than it was when I had the stutter.

The speech impediment stopped me being the type of person I wanted to be. I like to meet new people and find out about their lives and about what their interests are. The stutter though made me become very quite and quite wary of people. If I did try to get to know someone by asking them various questions but lets say was unable to say some of the words fluently, it would make me feel really angry and even depressed. The other person may have been fine with it and may not have reacted in any negative way, this for whatever reason would not make me feel any better. I would even feel sorry for the other person for putting them in that uncomfortable position.

Then there are the minority of people who do react in a negative way, possibly by laughing or mocking you. This is where the depression turns into a form of sadness and I would then want to stay on my own for a few days.

Life with a stutter was quite a lonely one at times but to be fair I did start to become used to it in the end. Even now I actually quite like being on my own.

Being able to speak without the fear of stuttering is just the best feeling ever. People who have been fluent all of their lives can not truly appreciate how lucky they are but I certainly do. In a way it was not luck as I worked very hard to beat the stutter and it took just under a year for me to succeed.

If you know someone who has a stuttering problem please have a little patience and be aware that they might have mood swings at times.
