Stuttering is the worse illness to have Imagine being in a social interaction and everyone else can speak normally. but when it's your turn to speak you get stuck on a sentence and everyone in the group is giving you weird looks! my mom treats me like a baby because of this retarded mental illness i have. i can barely speak and to make it even worse there's NO treatment and NO cure for stuttering. so there's basically nothing i can do to help myself and it's making me even more depressed than i am now. I've been smoking weed to help with my depressions but i have my brother go get my weed for me. I would get my weed myself but i can't because of this stuttering disease and it's embarrassing that i can't even ask for what i want! i always have to get other people that speak normally to get it for me. please tell me why i shouldn't kill myself. I've been stuttering ever since i was born and my life is hopeless. :-(
