Damn man I feel you 100% I am 27 I have depression, anxiety, ADHD, stutter and I am also gay. I have so many issues lol I feel like I am cursed .It is exhausting just being alive, but I don’t want to give up. I relate with what you said about feeling like you missed out on things in life because I feel the same. I allowed my stutter to dictate my entire life.I couldn’t make friends, pick the career I wanted and be the person I wanted to be. in the past I used alcohol to help in social situations however, I realised how dangerous this habit can quickly become, so I stopped. Stammering sucks and I wish I never had it, but I have to accept it. We have to keep fighting. Congratulations on being sober btw that is a big accomplishment!
