im stuttering a lot lately?

Lamps

I find myself stuttering quite a bit lately and getting my words mixed when im talking. I never used to do that, but just over the last couple of months ive found this happening.

I dont know why im doing it.

Anyone experienced this? Would be just some phase im going through?

Lamps, this can be caused by a lot of issues, everything from advanced fatigue to growths.

Please go and see your local GP ASAP. Your GP will refer you to a local hospital. Please don't panic as it could be something very minor.

Yeah, I think doctor is the way to go, could just be tiredness, stress, nervousness or the like, but there is a risk of something more fundamental that might be better caught now than left develop. Even if it is 'only' stress, you need to address that.

Or it could just be that you are noticing it more.

'I'm not gonna knock the advice given as it's best to be safe but, if I was the original poster, I'd have felt my heart jump a bit after reading the advice. I get the same thing as the original poster. Never mixed up words or stuttered in my life. Found it happening in my early 20s without any apparent reason (at the time) to start. I've pinned it down to nerves. If I become self-aware of my talking I start screwing it up easier. I stutter a few words and others get mixed up. Nothing disastrous but enough that it bothered me. If I relax myself and don't think too hard I'm fine. As a test, do you notice it going to happen more with people you're getting to know rather than old friends?'

My ex boyf got this , he was a hash smoker and found his responces were getting all mixed up because of this. Could this apply to you?

sometimes an overactive thyroid can make this happen

To clear it up in your own mind and allay any worries go see your GP and be sure tell him anything else that you have noticed different in yourself but to be honest it could also be stress.. Has anything changed in your life recently (job/relationship etc.. ) that might have placed extra worries/stress on you ?

This can sometimes manifest itself in obvious ways you wouldnt think ..

All the other posters advice seems fair and to the point.

I tend to stutter if in a high emotional state or stressed. A case of the mouth trying to get past the words the mind is saying.

If i am teaching it occasionally happens as my mind has gone one step ahead and my mouth is catching up.

Hey OP. I've found that I do sort of mix up words when I'm embarrassed or if I feel slightly intimidated etc. so it probably is something minor like this.

Edit: I would agree with marksuttonie also.
