I'm currently 22 years old I started stuttering in 6th grade and from that point on. I dealt with extreme anxiety, nervousness. Uncertainty and sadness. I couldn't speak my mind, answer questions, present information to a class, or order food. Eventually I got through school and didn't have any real life friends, but friends to play Playstation online with. I had got a job at a hospital and really had a hard time in public since I still had a stutter and was socially AWKWARD. My hospital job also brought stress and was tough at times just like school. I noticed I wasn't in very good shape and started to eat healthier and that really helped my confidence in general. I met some really cool people who didn't care about my stutter and I was finally able to relax. I've accepted my stutter and still get annoyed, but I have learned that as long as my confidence and energy is up, I'll be ok.
