The earlier you accept who you are the better you become. God is very perfect irrespective of what you are going through accept that fact. That you are like that doesn’t mean you won’t become a better person in life. See yourself now if with the situation you can become a graduate then what can you not achieve. I will give you a living example of someone who has a replical case like yours that is Apostle Arome Osayi before God change him. Man trust God for divine healing even in the scripture Moses likewise. There is no limit to what u can achieve. Going through the situation I know is not easy I will not deny that Fact but find strength in God. God heal u I pray.

Brilliant and intellectual minds are here so I believe you people can help me with an advice because I am so depressed and I don't know who to talk talk to about my depression.

I'm a stammerer, a chronic and dreadful one at that. I can repeat an initial word like forever before I could complete my statement. It has made me hate my life and existence. I have a very low-self esteem, I can't express myself, I can't even approach a girl not to talk of being a relationship because I'm afraid of being mocked.

I'm a graduate in accounting education from AAU. I have always dreamt of becoming a lecturer/teacher. I'm smart and intelligent, I love to impact knowledge but I can't express myself. It's a big disability for me.

Back then in University, when i went for my teaching practice, the first day I taught in a classroom, I sense an undesirable atmosphere. I knew the students were trying to laugh but they respected their selves. When I got home, I locked myself and I cried.... But life goes on.

I graduated 2017, I went for nysc 2018. Since then my life has no bearing. I have not achieved anything. I feel inadequate despite I read a lot and I'm intelligent. It pains me I can't communicate to impact knowledge without stammering.

My father is making it worse for me, he compare me with other guys, he has never appreciated any thing I've done for him, he talks down on me. He finds fault in anything I do, he talks as if I created myself.

My mom and siblings are the reason why I haven't committed suicide. They encourage me everyday, especially my mom who is sick now.

I prefer to be completely deaf and dumb than for me to talk and not be able to express myself.

God is not perfect. If God was perfect, he would not have created some people with disability or deformity. Some people were born crippled, deaf, blind etc.. And you wanna tell me God is perfect? He's a partial and sentimental God. I try to understand his vision but all I see is damages.

Please I'm so depressed. I need advice.

Hmmm! God is perfect and his ways are perfect. Nothing is wrong with the creator of the universe; you are only misconstruing Him. I will tell you what you can do to speak fluent. First thing is to free your mind from wrong perception of God Almighty. Mention and let's find a way to connect. It's God that will help you not me. Your stammering is for God to showcase His glory in you.

Don’t give up

Don't dragged God into this ,he did not create you.You are the creation of your Fathers and Mothers genetics.Don't insult God so that he might one day show you mercy.

May we not be depressed that we would have no option than you say negative things to our creator.

Bro, first, the problem u have isn't the biggest or the worst problem on earth. They're people with greater problems who are still thanking God ( may we not be obliged to thank him forcefully, but out of intense joy and happiness). My point is, no matter the situation u are do not ever utter any negative things about ur creator. U also mentioned the crippled and blind. Come to think of it, are their situations not way bad than yours?
One of my philosophies of life is that everyone has an hidden potential which is left for them to discover. Teaching may not necessarily be ur path, try other ways and stop worrying about things out of ur control. They're thousands of disabled persons who are living more comfortable lives than those who are healthy( note, I'm not saying being disabled is good or something I wish for), but everyone in this world have their weaknesses whether physical or non physical. Stop letting that or people's bullies or laughter hinder u from discovering who you're.

Seek God's forgiveness for u have said what u ought not say. God is God of wonders that can do whatever it wants without being questioned. Who would even dare?!

All we gat to keep praying for is that God shouldn't do undesirable and unpleasant wonders with our lives.

I understand what you're going through. When I was younger, I stammered a lot. It was so bad that I refused to do anything public. What helped me was taking deep breaths before talking, and talking very very slowly. Now, about 90% of the stammering is gone

I will first of all ask you, whether your father and mother stammer ? If no then it is not genetic or hereditary. Some times we learn stammering during our tender age, I use myself as a case study. I was once a stammer but learned that from my childhood friend then but as God may have it my senior brother flog the hell out of me and I started from the very day speaking well till this day.
Please leave God out of your problem, take a look around you will see that you are not the worst person on earth. Remember you did not graduate with all your mate in school neither some are still alive today but God made you to be in the land of living so don't be an ingrate.

Kindly text me on WhatsApp.. I can help 08120520368

Dear Op, sorry for what you are going through, first love yourself and believe in yourself.

Try to speak slowly, work more on your communication skills! You can watch some you tube videos on public speaking even some apps can help with your speech

Be calm while talking! Practice the breath in and out before talking with time your speech will get better

Since you love to teach! You can do more of writing for now while you work on your speech �
Good luck

I'm sorry I replied late, but that is not an issue,

My brother was once a chronic Stammerer till my mom tackled it, he speaks normal, but slow, you'll never know he was a stammerer, here what she did.

1) first work on your self esteem, and start feeling good about yourself.

2) you will have to start talking slow, one word at a time.

3) time your self(you now putting yourself on a timer) start with two letter words, start saying them base on the timer, e.g know the seconds a "me" word is said, put your time in the second and repeat the word often till you get it.

It won't be easy but everyday practice will make you get.

4) if you know you have pronounce the two letter words fast, move to three, four, five, six till you able to time yourself on a sentence.

5) Get someone who will monitor you, like a mentor, my mum was my brother mentor,

6) it may take year to get, but if you determined to get it right, who knows it might take a months.

7) Always tell your mind you have said it accurately, and there was no stammering

you have to dedicate hours to this.

Nothing that doesn't have a solution, no one thought a heart transplant can be done, or a woman can become a man

Felt sorry for you until your statement about God. You can't claim to be intelligent and make such blasphemous comments..Seek for forgiveness first.

I'm also a stammerer but not a chronic one. I try so much to control it so you may never notice. You can work on it. Try to talk as slow as possible, you notice that when you sing you don't stammer, the key is to relax, talk like you want to sing, you have to practice on your own.
Relax and talk slowly, very slow. You stammer when you want to burst(say all you wanna say real fast) you don't have that ability because of your speech defect, so whenever you wanna talk and feel youre gonna stammer, don't talk! Don't talk!! Take a very deep breath and speak as slow as you can. It could be just one or two words . Anger makes things worse, so don't talk when you're angry..
Don't blame God cos 'it could be worse' people are living with far worse conditions, you'll be thankful for yours. Try and work on yourself when you're alone. I believe there's a whole lot of career opportunities for someone who isn't eloquent . Forget teaching, God has blessed you with brains, not everyone can cay they're intelligent.

I used to wonder how people who are face with such challenges cope with life until I met a resource person with ECN who give state of the art address in seminars and workshops even though he stuttered he was appreciated just like everyone. Please call me on 07089194942

I am sorry about what you are going through.
2 points to summarise my advise.

1) If you can afford it, try paid speech therapy. Even if you cant afford therapy, with the prevalence of free courses and counselling online today, I am certain you can find something free that can bring you some improvements.

2) Play to your strengths. If you are an intelligent person that has a lot of knowledge to share, write blogs, articles and maybe even academic papers. You can teach people this way and make as much impact.

Good luck

Please I'm so depressed. I need advice.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm trying to understand your situation and I can see why you're downcast.

First off, though you're feeling bad, you could still construct such a beautiful written script. That shows you're gifted in writing.

If you're not able to pass on knowledge by speaking, you could do so through writing. It was quite easy and interesting to read because of your smooth construction. Look deeper into writing contents that you're comfortable with. You could also write books.

Reach Iralife to teach you about Amazon KDP publishing to publish your works and/or publish for others as well. That's a skill you might be interested in.

This just means you could look inward and discover why you're here. You have a purpose for being here. Please don't kill yourself.

Many parents do not understand how damaging their words and conducts are towards their children. However, we need to realise that they do not know better. That will help you pay less attention to the negatives so you don't get more depressed.

Concerning relationships, I believe you will find someone who would love you as you are. People marry others with varying disabilities and live happily. You will find love when it's time.

You could search online for ways to help you improve in expression as a stammer. There should be materials geared towards that.

Finally and most importantly, God loves you so much. He understands that your last paragraph is the limit of your knowledge of Him. He has great plans for you. Open your heart to know Him more.

You can follow us for more contents that will surely benefit you.

May the Lord meet you at the point of your need in Jesus name.

If you need to talk more, you could send a PM.

Take care Henry. God bless you.

Damnfailure:
Just understand Ur reincarnated cycle is meant to cause u pain. U can only ingore it. Or commit suicide and dam the will. In the end we are all been played by the gods. They only want our worship. That's why they create this imbalance in creation.

Note the will is the force that put creation in motion.

In the end we are
all been played by the gods. They
only want our worship...I love that line so much!!

Op ,I understand how you feel 100% .

I'm a stammerer too but right now I just don't care about it . I speak to people with all confidence even though my lips are trembling and the words won't just come out!

Focus on yourself.

Learn tech.

And never lose your cool.

This pity party you are throwing i really did not want to attend it but here i am.If like you say you prefer to be deaf and dumb then be just that and if you want to commit suicide do just that too and let your loved ones suffer but remember this quote usually attributed to Einstein.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”.
You are sad not depressed so know the difference.
There are transferable skills you possess as a graduate so you could consider something much suitable as against being a lecturer where you have to speak for at least half an hour uninterrupted.
When people tell you speak slowly,go for speech therapy or breathe in and out slowly that depends on how serious your stammering is and it can only reduce it will not stop it all together.
Stammering is neurological so make the best of your situation.
I don’t know what God has to do with this matter or whether he is perfect or not like you have alleged if he exists.All am saying is you are a stammer so what?.Be practical,own it and be the best version of yourself.
Best wishes for the future.

For the first time I read something on Nairaland and shred tears. I can feel your pain bro, don't give up on yourself just like that.

DeHill:

How did he cure his? Pls tell me!

1. Work on your self: Be calm when speaking and practice speech by reading books aloud, download audios of fluent speakers and listen regularly then try to mimic their speech. Be sure of what to say before speaking to people.
2.Speech therapy: Google "speech therapy in Nigeria" read about it. There are people who are called speech therapist/speech pathologists, they are willing to help.

Kwara1stson:
how did he do it

He worked on himself, by reading books aloud and listening to audios, also he realized that he had anger issues so he made effort to be more calm

KiNg0G:
I feel your pain brah, accept yourself for who you are.. it be better that way.

I'm a stammer, and I have felt same thing you are feeling today. The first thing to do is to accept yourself the way are and love yourself unashamedly. Then you need to raise your communication skills.. follow tips provided..you will be fine

I understand that you're depressed, pained and frustrated about the whole thing but trust me God is perfect but we humans ain't perfect, before you work on your self, please ask God for forgiveness, you're created for a purpose, you haven't discovered your purpose yet, remember moses was a stammerer but God used him, your case ain't different, you're unique and there's glory in you.. all you need do is to calm down, ask God to reveal the reason he created you. Do you know that there are skills and places you can work without talking much? You can be a writer just do what you can do effectively and maximize it. When I was growing up, there's a kid that was having this issue, but the mother cured him with snail shell, this how you use it, buy a big snail or look for it around your neighborhood, remove the meat and everything inside, wash the shell clean and sock it inside drinking water, a container you can cover, anytime you're tasty use the snail shell to drink water it will clear your voice. Try it and come back here to testify, God has created herbs and animals for our betterment, just that we humans suffer for lack of knowledge about how to use God creatures to our own advantage. Do have a good life, be positive about life, you'll be fine.

Chief don't reject yourself that the first step you need to openly be able to tell yourself your a stammerer or tell others ...it Like a man with one pretending to have two arms trying to cook with two arms or drive or at her things mean whiles He's having just one it sure would be difficult so first. He must admit he's got one arm ..next how do I cook with one arm how do I wash with one arm how do I drive with one arm.... I'm using this example because it the only one I can relate to ..

Second find a form.of expression I know a stammerer friend who's found his expression with the guitar ....like he plays like a pro and funny part he doesn't stammer when he sings ...he still stammers here and there maybe stressed or when he's laughing or when he is angry but he has a form of expressions you need to find a way you'll express yourself.

If you know your no there yet find a job that limits your interaction with people coding or online stuffs but hey if it being a lecturer you want to be ...you Can still be that you just Have to work twice as hard

My brother its obvious your sad, and some of us understand. It's difficult growing up being sick, especially incurable sickness.
My advice to you, is to go back to God, because only him can heal you. You have great destiny ahead of you, the enemy have seen God's glory in your life. If you remain bitter towards God, you may end up dying with this stammering, but your reconciliation and acceptance of Jesus into your life, will mark a beginning of your healing. You cannot fight your maker and succeed. I have countless people, I know that God healed of stammering.
Most of the advise given to you here, are good but they can not offer permanent solution. If you really want to speak in this life, go to God in prayer.
If you need counselling, call my number: 09020205473

Self-confidence, self-love and please relax, stop taking yourself or this life too seriously. No one is perfect, yours is just more obvious when you speak but the way you handle it is how we react to it.

It can be 100% managed even if it does not disappear. Believe me it isn't the worst situation in the world. If you believe there is God, be thankful instead of being hateful.

Stop over thinking or over-stressing, do your best to be heard afterall the essence of speaking is to pass a message, and leave the rest.

Eat well, sleep well and exercise. Socialize because believe me one way to overcome it is to expose it and let it know you are not one of its slave. Good luck, man.

I know it's shitty and hard but it can get better, lots better. Just live free and be your own greatest fan.

Guy... you have a very good writing skill. I suggest you start writing books and novels.
Moreover, don't forget to do the snail and water method, it works! �

Jecint:
Op ,I understand how you feel 100% .

I'm a stammerer too but right now I just don't care about it . I speak to people with all confidence even though my lips are trembling and the words won't just come out!

Would you say it has improved since you stopped worrying about it?

God is not perfect. If God was perfect, he would not have created some people with disability or deformity. Some people were born crippled, deaf, blind etc.. And you wanna tell me God is perfect? He's a partial and sentimental God. I try to understand his vision but all I see is damages.

Please I'm so depressed. I need advice.

Well what I can only advice you too do is to carry newspapers and read everything aloud and record it.

Every story, read it aloud, record it, stop recording when you finish, and listen.

So this for a whole year if you can.

Thank me later

My name is Henry, 27 yrs old. I am new here, it was my younger sister who introduced me to nairaland. She is a member here.

Brilliant and intellectual minds are here so I believe you people can help me with an advice because I am so depressed and I don't know who to talk talk to about my depression.

I'm a stammerer, a chronic and dreadful one at that. I can repeat an initial word like forever before I could complete my statement. It has made me hate my life and existence. I have a very low-self esteem, I can't express myself, I can't even approach a girl not to talk of being a relationship because I'm afraid of being mocked.

I'm a graduate in accounting education from AAU. I have always dreamt of becoming a lecturer/teacher. I'm smart and intelligent, I love to impact knowledge but I can't express myself. It's a big disability for me.

Back then in University, when i went for my teaching practice, the first day I taught in a classroom, I sense an undesirable atmosphere. I knew the students were trying to laugh but they respected their selves. When I got home, I locked myself and I cried.... But life goes on.

I graduated 2017, I went for nysc 2018. Since then my life has no bearing. I have not achieved anything. I feel inadequate despite I read a lot and I'm intelligent. It pains me I can't communicate to impact knowledge without stammering.

My father is making it worse for me, he compare me with other guys, he has never appreciated any thing I've done for him, he talks down on me. He finds fault in anything I do, he talks as if I created myself.

My mom and siblings are the reason why I haven't committed suicide. They encourage me everyday, especially my mom who is sick now.

First, know that God does not do evil. So God is not responsible for your situation. Every good and perfect gift comes from God. But you know why contrary situations like yours exist, the devil has sown this seed while men slept. I remember Pastor Paul Enache 's testimony of the defect the doctor said his child was born with, immediately, he rejected it. And the detect has never reared its head since then. This things comes with knowledge.
What you don't know, you pay for it.

It is now left to for you to accept this as your fate or fight a good fight of faith knowing that it is not the will of God for you. At creation, God would look at any creature and declare that it is good. You are part of the goodly creature of God.

What you don't want, you don't watch. Enter into the redemptive package of God and begin to appropriate to yourself, through a prayer of faith, your inheritance in redemption, which includes good health. Part of the infirmity Jesus bore and took away on the cross for the redeemed is stammering.

If God can heal people of worse situations than yours, he can heal you
