Life with Stuttering is just a life of surviving not life of Living/Enjoying I am 24m stuttering since childhood and i have experienced stuttering in all its glory Life with a stutter is just all day everyday surviving Surviving to express myself Surviving to become the person i want to become Surviving to say what i want to say everytime i open my mouth Surviving to not get depressed everyday Surviving to live a life free of anxiety/fear Surviving to purse a career of my choice Surviving to make new friends or just basically maintain and have social connections Surviving to not care about what other people think Surviving to not care and be confident about present and future Surviving to not ruin my mental health All i want is live a calm peaceful and controlled life and not worry about all of the above things and just speak normally and live well and good, is it too much to ask. People with stutter suffer 10 times more than normal people and the thing is that it affects every part/aspect of thier life. I tried to accept stuttering but i just cannot be comfortable be the way i speak or be confident and happy about it. I tried various therapies and it didn't worked of just lose effect after time I just feel so hopeless and tired to live like this everyday, everyday i wake up and feel awful to survive the day with all these things, all day everyday. Needed to vent.
