Stuttering and not doing well on the phone

[gt86]

I have had speech therapy as a kid but now a daya my stutter has gotten real bad.

It mainly happens over the phone were I cant speak well at all.

In person, for example I went for a job interview, and it really affected me and brought me down.

I just dont know what to do anymore.
Anyone have any ideas?
It stops me from living me life.

I have problems talking because my throat muscles get so tense. It helps me to take a moment to lower my pitch and speak slowly. I feel for you.

Sorry

Don't pass. Stottern accept. I bin das Gleiche. And I always work a lot with customers. Ich weisß, dass der Therapeut simue situation simulieren kann, so etwas wie ein Theater, in dem er eine ruhige Haltung üben kann. I am here.
Although I'm looking for a job in a warehouse.

What Toto said!

I'm the same. But when I stuttered, I didn't pay attention, I accepted. With customers face to face too. I'm looking for a job in a warehouse. You can ask your therapist. As far as I know, you can play something like theater, analyze the situation, practice calm posture. Ask if he offers this type of therapy

I posted the comment in German.

Great ideas! Did your medication have any effect on your speech

No. I am against pills. I was prescribed several types of antipsychotics, but apart from sleeping, they didn't help. It is a pity that no one offers me a job to go to and just wait to overcome my symptoms. Talk to your therapist about such sessions. I've heard of this type of therapy and I still think it would help.

talking slowly helps me. i generally trip over my own words if i talk fast...probably can't keep up with my thoughts. i suffer from schizophrenia. not sure if this generally happens in schizophrenia or if it happens because english is not my first language.

I think it's a slight social phobia. Some say it's because of the lack of visualization of the person when talking on the phone. But in my case it is a social phobia, low self-esteem ... despite everything 1 year ago I worked as a waitress / saleswoman. I was getting used to it, I really liked the restaurant where I worked. They also sold various breads.

The problem was that there were no labels for me as to what bread was called. My colleague refused to put etiquette and prevented me from making my job easier. I made a crisis because of that. The good thing is that she was fired after I left

I used to stutter lots when I was younger and had to go have speech therapy as well. Over the years it just randomly stopped and never happened again. As for the phone, I have extreme anxiety talking on phone (especially booking appts for myself), so I try always talking to people thru texts as its easier for me. I just don't like talking thru a phone plus I've also got a hearing problem in one ear so I can't hear well anyways
