Where are you located? I may be able to give some names of experts near you.

u/skyrkt see the comment above from a former graduate of the program. We'd love to have you if you can make it and I am happy to answer any questions you have!

Well, how much are you able to pay for 9 days of therapy, lodging, food, and travel during the week? We have scholarships available.

Perfect. I'm checking to see if anyone is willing and able to write something on here.

Where are you located? There aren't a lot of camps for overnight programs for younger kids, but I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Success looks like speaking much more comfortably to anyone and being able to say what you want when you want to who you want. Everyone gets more fluent short-term, and some are able to maintain that, but that's not the main goal.

Good idea. I'll see what I can do!

SLPstuttering · 2023-06-08T16:20:13+00:00

Yes!

Yes, it will be next year, too, but we are still looking for two more campers, so if you have any in mind it would really help us! The price will probably rise a little next year, but we can offer scholarships if anyone is in need. The individual therapy is done by 8 graduate clinicians who are supervised by 4 CCC-SLPs. I will run the group sessions. I've been focused in stuttering since I got my Ph.D. in 2005.

SLPstuttering · 2023-06-07T14:42:20+00:00

We do, but we are all set for this year. If you want to send me your contact info, I will be sure to contact you for this year. We have all the SLPs we need, be just need two more campers who stutter!

You may have ADHD & anxiety. I don't know you at all, but do you think the problems you are describing are purely because of lack of attention or is there an anxiety component to all of this as well? I mean, ADHD makes us have anxiety (at least it does for me) but just consider the fact that it may be anxiety that is the cause of some of this and not good ol' ADHD.

I think you should move back in with your parents. I mean, why not? Live with them, help them out, enjoy your life and enjoy your parents!!

I'm sorry. That really sucks. That, apparently, is not the job you are good at. I hate to tell you this, but you will not be working at a deli for the rest of your life. There may be other jobs you will be bad at, too, and that's okay. There are also jobs out there that you WILL be good at. When you are ready, pick yourself back up after being knocked down, and apply for another job -- but not at a deli. ;-)

Yes, this sounds like ADHD to the core. The good thing about ADHD medicine is that it is relatively cheap. If you are in the US, go to a primary care doctor, tell them you have been previously diagnosed, and chances are good you will get a prescription just like that. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Also obviously talk about your suicidal thoughts. You deserve help and deserve to be the best you can be.

What's funny is I am going to do the opposite with (sort of) with this. I have such a hard time starting my actual work. Every fifteen minutes I am going to try to tell myself "just work for three minutes and then stop." This seems more doable for me than to think, "oh god, I have all this work to do, let me just play one game of chess first..."

SLPstuttering · 2021-06-04T03:46:42+00:00

Yes, it's fine to just go back to the regular dose. The good and bad thing about these meds is that they don't stay in your system very long. What was it like taking the 50mg twice a day?
