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

[b]Dear op..I had a colleague back in med school who cannot pronounce a word without starmammering badly.. I still wonder how he passed orals and clinical exams(both involve very active communication) without failing a single time ... He's happily married today....That's the power of self believe and determination to succeed without minding the ills life may throw at u.. Be strong bro.. U can live ur dreams and get to the very top.. There's power in being positive

This mentality, while it may be temporarily good for your peace of mind, usually leads to serious mediocrity and contentment with the abnormal. The fact that someone has a bigger problem than yours does not mean you shouldn't take steps to fix it.

I will suggest you watch and follow the steps in these two videos:

1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDEdSW71pF0

2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrraoSk_j3A

I believe it will help.

I once watched a documentary of five stammers who stopped stammering by follow some speech therapy routines. It took them about 3 months.

They were told to speak in few syllables at a time over a two week period.

E.g. If they want to say "my name is wale", they are told to say it in one word at a go. e.g. My........name.......is.......wale. And by doing this repeatedly with a lot of spaces between it, they were able to stop suttering after a while.

People who stutter feel we despise them, that's not true. Just yesterday, this beautiful young lady walked to my spot to get a pair of can. She wasn't talking much. I never knew she was afraid she might stammer. We concluded on the price and I gave her the shoe. I told hey bye and that I hope to see her next time and she tried to reply but ended up stammering. She felt shy from her body movement,wanted to leave but I held her back.
I told her nothing is wrong with her and made her feel accepted before she made to leave.

Out of no where, she brought out her phone and handed it over to me to dial my number but I told her subtly that would. Be next time(never wanted to take advantage of that scenario). She told me bye and left and I watched her with a fulfilled self.

Guy you need Jesus to heal you permanently, the miracles of healing of stammerers happens like water in my church almost every service day... no bragging, ask questions. I invite you to come to Salvation Ministries this sunday and I assure you God will heal you on the spot. We have our satellite churches everywhere even in ogun state there. Make sure to come in faith and have an expectation to go back talking right. Remember to share your testimony to the world when God finally heals you cos I know he will on sunday if you will come.

Thanks for having the courage to share your challenge. A lot of people who have committed suicide didn't have this.
Life is said to be unfair. Everyone with their own share of this.



Appreiate and celebrate your uniqueness. In all this, I can boldly tell you that God cares for you . Learn to pray to the Almighty, discuss your fears with Him and keep believing and practicing your tongue would be loosed.

I'm sorry bro. We all have our demons and problems trust me. Don't kill yourself cos of yours. Try to make the best of your life no matter what.

But lemme ask. Are you an aggressive or nervous person? If yes, work on your aggressiveness and timidity. Try to relax more and feel peaceful in your heart and mind. It'll surely reflect positively in the way you speak.

Lastly, take it to God in prayers. Remember there are many gifts we often forfeit all because we never took it to God in prayers.

God bless you. Amen.

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.


I can only say God bless you for this piece over and over.

I met a great friend in the university that stammers a lot, BUT he would say, I am not a stammerer, but a stutterer. Believe me, Muyiwa is a great conversationist. He is loaded with Nigeria's history and great command of English, you can't meet him once without planning to talk with him 1000 more times. Interestingly, he is generous and knows how to keep his friends, he is always ready to help to any length too.

So, bro Tobi, just look inwards, thank God for your life because there are many outside there that are even dumb, moronic, and intellectually challenged.
You can only bid for being the best and living the life God gives you to the fullest.
Re: My Stammering Issue Is Depressing Me by harcemedes(m): 10:56pm On Dec 20, 2018
I understand perfectly, in fact, i used to think like that too. I am a stutterer, and I do stammer. When I was younger, I hate speaking in public even in class self. Bt, I conquered my fear, I still stutter though, bt I learnt to embrace it, not to be feel inferior, nw have spoken in front of class, my department even an audience of over 2000 pple @ NYSC camp without repeating a word. The trick is to embrace it nt run from it and be calm as possible, don't b in a rush, don't try to say evrytin @ once, listen to the words u speak, and I av over 1k clips of public speakers, study body language and all. DON'T BE AFRAID TO LET PPLE KNOW, EMBRACE IT, IT'S WHO YOU ARE, AND ALWAYS KEEP A COOL HEAD

First, you're not a stammerer. You only stutter. Break your words into syllables. Learn to breathe well when pronouncing words you normally would stutter on. Stop speaking fast. Listen to music and read loud. Stutters don't stutter when they sing. Add rhythm to your speaking.

Finally go look for this movie.... The kings speech.

Thank me later.

Start listening to rap music. All kinds. Old school and new school.
Rap along and be sure that you imitate perfectly. It would help you find a style you can roll with.

It worked for me.

You are in control of everything

You will learn to be calm to calm down your nerves

You have to learn to talk slowly no matter the topic of debate

You must control your temperament that is the first key to survive others

Lastly be a complete gentleman and respect your dealing with people to avoid arguing
