If you pray, please pray for this speech problem I have video included

I have a son with a speech impedimat, so I know how frustrating this can be. I will be praying for you. I believe that God will heal you. Hang in there, and try not to get agitated. Maybe taking a few deep breaths before you begin to speak will help a little.

Very brave of you to put that up, PQ! Actually, I had more trouble turning my head on one side than understanding what you wanted to say Just to let you know I don't have a problem with your speech at all God bless!

I will be praying for you. God understands.

You are very brave to put up that video, I'm really inspired by your confidence in doing so. I'm wondering what is that grey device you had that was near your throat under your chin? I'm reminded of a technology that you can mouth the words and the machine will speak out the words electtronically, and the guy put a black microphone-looking thing to his throat. We got to try it out and I'm amazed at how technology is able to enhance the lives of those of us who are disabled. (I have 3 disabilities myself). This was about 15 years ago that I was shown this device, the guy was an ex-smoker who smoked so much that he lost his voice, so just imagine what good stuff they have out there on the market today. In the mean time, I will pray to G-d that He'll restore your voice and give you peace in your heart at the same time. Blessings and keep up the courage and faith. I'll add u as a friend to my Youtube, okay? I'm velizabethwhite, that's my youtube name. Take care.

Hubby was working in mylot, he had showed me this video, today i saw it again, tears came to my eyes, you know hubby well, as astrologer he says we have to pass through good as well as bad days, we don't have control over them.. We too believe in prayers they give us too much of mental strength.. You will get well soon May god bless you sister.. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

Of course I will pray for you. I hope this helps. I’ve seen something like this before and was able to help someone with a similar kind of speech problem (the mental aspects) but it was easier to be in person. My first request would be to ask you to look into my eyes focus and not look away and see my determination, respect and care about your problem. But we can not do that here so I will try to do my best for you. Frustration Frustration is the thing you must dispose of. It will not serve you well. Now! Focus. The next thing you can do is to slow down. Speak to someone that has time to listen to you. Space out your words. Take your time. Find the calm. The calm, the quiet will give you what you need. I know dear what is bothering you. You are thinking at the time of speech how you can not talk well. But like you said you are getting better with each new day and with time you will improve. To see if this helps try this if you like , pick your phrases that you think you can handle....then put spaces... in between ...for the.. rest time.. on your part. Although.. this.. will.. slow down ..the paragraph.. it will ..allow.. the phrases.. to flow better.. and.. unlike politicians.. that put in sounds.. try not to add.. any.. if possible ..just the phrases.. or word. I know you are intelligent and understanding. Like people learning a new language they can sound funny to someone because of their word structure. Do not be thrown off if you speak with someone and they start to grin. I think most people likely are not laughing at you personally, so laugh with them, and you will gain so much more from laughter than frustration. Maybe, think of your goal to improve your speaking like a new journey where someone like me will admire you from a far and with tears in my eyes not because of pity but because I would not know if I would have the strength to do so well the things you are doing. I want you to achieve your goal with all my heart mylotfriend and sincerely with respect.

I pray for you all the time and I just sent the video to Trish as well.

hi pointlessquestions I am so surprised and sad for you as your writing is superb and articulate.you evidently have a speech impediment that embarrasses and sadly getting upset will make it worse. You need to find a good speech therapist that can help you to over come the stuttering and stammering. self esteem must be there too. I will pray also for you to get the help you need and overcome the problem. I know it must be embarrassing but many good writers have been known to have speech problems so you are not alone at alone.

that is so sad honey. i sure will pray for you. it is obviously a anxiety problem. yes, i believe in prayer also. most everyone ive ever prayed for but one it has worked for.

Have to agree on your bravery (and it's really nice to see you for real... *waves*). I'm not a praying person but I do remember a BBC documentary about stuttering and speech impediments and the advice that a particular system gave to overcome it: rhythm. The idea was to try to get past the embarrassment and agitation - which makes it worse - by speaking rhythmically, as if you're reciting poetry. Each syllable on the beat of a regular metronome. The system had incredible success because it did what meditation does: occupied the front of the mind with something simple (the beat), thus freeing the rest of the mind. I don't know whether it will help you but it may be worth a try. You might feel a bit funny speaking as if you're a rapper on a slow beat but I'm sure it'll be no worse than what you're feeling right now. Did you find out if it's related to the meds, by the way?

Pointless, indeed you are a very brave person, daring to share your problem through Youtube. Hope you will always be a brave person, to overcome your obstacles. Try your best to struggle against those unwanted health problems. It is lucky that you are still able to write and explain very well regarding your speech problem. Don't worry, i will always pray for your good health. Hope one day to hear that you will be fine like usual again. Always have a balanced diet in your daily life.

I will definitely do so PQ.

I'm sorry to hear about you speech problem. I will pray for you. I believe that God will help you to cope up with this.
