I'm a mild stutterer and have been all my life. I've essentially just learned to live with it, some days are better than others. However, that leads to my question. I'll go thru periods (days and even weeks) were I rarely stutter, but then I'll go thru periods in which it is extremely difficult just to carry on a basic conversation. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know why such peaks and valleys?

Hey guys, Im new here so Hi first of all!

Ok heres the thing. Until about 2 years ago I had never stuttered in my life at all.

This is my stuttering story. I started stuttering when I was about five, what it was brought on by I have no clue. My older brother would used to make fun of me and interrupt me a lot, so maybe but who knows. Well, throughout school I wouldn't read aloud, just because I would get lost and anxious and start stuttering and there was a fear of just mispronouncing words. Well, the teachers finally realized ...

I have painful memories of my childhood, deep wounds inflicted by my mom- scars from cruel words that traumatized me and haunt me still: "people are going to think you're mentally retarded and THAT will be a poor reflection on ME!" she was ashamed and embarrassed. One of my three brothers also stuttered occasionally... mostly at the beginning of certain consonants... L-L-Let me try. B-B-But
I said no! I know my mind was racing faster ...
