Hello My name is Matthias and i am 15 years old and i have been stammering since i remember .
Stammering has taken a big part of my life and i think the problem is because i am always thinking about it and very conscious about it .
I attend to a Speach Terrapist every month but sometimes i thing it makes things worse because i think about it even more .
Last year i nearly got expelled from school because of my stammering . My language teacher was forcing me to read in class and i got so frustrated i started swearing and offending everyone because he could not take no for an answer even though i told him i will talk to you after the lesson . By the way This was on the first day of school. I dont know why when i am angry at someone i dont stammer . This all got clear when my speach terrapist phoned my school and then the teacher came and excused himself although i still hate him
The worst thing is when someone asks me my name . i start stammering a lot to say my name like ma ma ma ma em em eeee Mat MAATTHIAS !
I remember In the first day of school when the teacher asks all of us our names and say something about us as she asks more students and i get closer i get even more nervous and my stomach starts hurting and sweat starts coming down my forehead .
At least I got loads of friends in my school some are cooperative with me but some are very cruel . the ones which are cruel i dont even call them friends.
I think the best option when you have a drama play or presentation and you dont want to do it is to just speak to the teacher and dont do it . Trust me it is much better . It takes off a lot of pressure from you and you feel more relaxed . My being more pressured and nervous about the presentation surely wont help you win the battle of stammering.
When i am with friends i dont stammer a lot .
Luckly i am not a shy person except when coming to speach allowed on my own in a group or class . when i say i am not shy to go and speak to girls .
An amazing thing is when i go out in weekends and i drink a bit of alcohol i dont stammer anything . or maybe cause i dont realise i am stammering.
I also Love playing snooker . I dont know if you know what snooker it is like bilyard/pool but on the very big tables and the game is much more different you got the red black pink blue .... balls . I also love playing snooker because it relaxes my mind and i think because it is just between me and the game and i dont need to speak or have any troubles or get nervous .
I have been trying to find a website like this for a very long time this will surely help us and each other by sharing our thoughts
I would really appreciate it if you leave some comments and replies
