I've had a mild to moderate stammer since I was a child. I'm 25 now and while speaking slowly, using hand gestures and taking deep breaths help sometimes, it's still the biggest obstacle I have to face. It does make my life so much harder, puts me in a lot of embarrassing situations and makes me jealous of everyone else for being able to speak fluently so effortlessly. I was constantly made fun of at school, then went to college and even though I considered dropping out, I still managed to graduate 3 years ago. I knew it'd be hard to get a job with my condition and the pandemic didn't make things any easier but after about a year, I finally got a job with a meh salary but I was so grateful someone agreed to hire me so I didn't complain. I got a much better offer at another place 6 months later and earlier this week I got a promotion. I went from considering dropping out to having the job of my dreams and relatively making more than everyone else in my class. I'm proud of myself for never giving up or letting my speech impediment hold me back. I hope this comment gives you some hope and encourages you to work on yourself and pursue your dreams. You're more than just your stutter so don't let it define you.
