Help me please.

Hi,

My name is Ross and I have a stuttering problem.

My problem isn't severe as others but I do believe it's causing me great difficulty with work collueges understanding me (I have to repeat myself several times sometimes) and friends.

I also find myself having a hard time in expressing myself as I loose myself in my sentances and loose what words I'd like to say to someone whilst speaking to them about an issue/news/etc.

If I try to debate about an issue, I can't express what I'm trying to say and I feel dumbfounded and it makes me look like an idiot.

I've tried a speech therapist but they are very expensive here in Australia and I'm not sure who to turn to for help.

What can I do to reduce/eliminate my stutter and how can i increase my vocabulary so I can be on par with some of my other collueges?

ross, i feel kind of the same way minus the need for a bigger vocabulary to be the same as my friends.

only way i cope is to just not worry too much about it.. real friends won't care about how you say things, but what you say.. i reckon.
