Figuring Things Out

Lisariel

Hi, my name is Lisariel. Looking back on my childhood I just realized that I once attended speach therapy, my mother had sugguested it, because I wasn't pronouncing certain words correctly. Anyway, after my school's grauduation I started to look for work, before attending my new school. I don't recall stuttering during my years in school. My stuttering started, after a head injury at work. Ever since then, my stuttering has gotten worst. Whenever a conversation is going on between my close friends, I find myself being skipped over (left out of the conversation) my friends won't admited but I'm sure that my stuttering has something to do with them treating me like I'm not intelligent to jump in the conversation with my friends. I also think that favortism plays a role part in my friends juding me. On night, one of my close friends had word picked with me (in other words she was moking every word that I tried to pronoun) echoing me, which caused me to stutter even more. She hurt my feelings, but I never told her how she made me feel. Anyway, is it possible that stuttering can result from a head injury?

I do not think so, i deal with mental issues myself and i do not stutter although i used to have speech issues as a kid. I used to mumble instead of talking. My mother took me to a speech therapist, worked like a lucky charm.

Some accidents later cause a person to stutter. It's because of the mental shock they had to go through. Have you been through any such shocks? I strongly advise you to consult a speech therapist.

my dad sometimes can say words he just forgets what the word is and cant say it he knows what word to say but cant say it. he said he got bullied especially at the canteen when ordering food. Your friend isnt a friend if she treats you like that. maybe confront her or leave her. shes not worth it if shes making fun of you. friends are meant to comfort you you derserve better

    Yes, I was here a long time ago. Unfortunately I had started the smoking again in the time so I stop to visit the site and I shame for that but I want to try it again.Now I stop my smoking from 1 December 2023 (not traditionally) and I do not smoke since then 3 months. Maybe I have a long way to get to the goal but the direction is right I think. Excuse my English, I am from Slovakia and I...
