I'm 31 and unfortunately my life is literally in the shitter. Severe Stuttering has literally ruined my life..I'm doing my part & seeking therapy & trying meds out that could help. But in the past ive contemplated suicide, but thank God I kept my head on straight & pulled through. Even though I'm basically not living a good life at all. I always thought it would get better as I got older, but it's getting worse even with all the therapy & meds I've tried. I have ptsd, extreme social anxiety, no friends really anymore, no girlfriend or wife, a shitty job, and I live with and help support my elderly parents. And most of my family doesn't understand or give a fuck about my mental & physical problems, they just make it harder & more painfull for me. I've tried so many various things over the years & dealt with so much bad shit that it's a miracle of God I haven't became a drug addict or killed myself. I just keep telling myself God has a purpose for me. My advice for younger stutterers is to get good therapy & or proper anxiety meds if you need asap. And go after what you want in life. I pray yall don't have to go through what I went through & the mistakes I made. Don't ever give up no matter how hard or painfull your life gets! We all gotta stay positive.
