Cried because of my stutter I cried for the first time in a year just a couple minutes ago when I thought about my stuttering and how much it has affected my mental health/relationships. I felt so numb in the past and kept everything to myself because I was so worried about being judged again for being different. But after opening up to my family about it a little while ago, I cried so hard. I just couldn’t hold it inside any longer. It’s just so crazy to think how I always feel so different from my peers. I wish I could just overcome this struggle forever, but I don’t think it’ll happen in the meantime. Hopefully I can improve when I start college for the first time later this year. Stuttering adds so much to my depression.
