Venting I've been stuttering since I can remember.Not a single day passes without me stuttering, I feel embarrassed, I feel guilty for stuttering, I am supposed to be excited for an internship like my friends but no, I'm here anxious every day about my internship that is 2 months away. I should be excited about starting a new chapter in my life but I cant and I'm feeling guilty about it. Why cant I feel excited about trying new stuff like nost people do ?. Thinking about stuttering is eating me alive I constantly think about, it's a mood killer. Whenever I think abt it my mood is ruined for the next hour or so. I am having a banner prepared in my uni which I should present next week, and I'm feeling very nervous to an extent that I cant sleep and its running my sleep schedule . I should have an interview concerning my internship and I'm feeling nervous about it too. I know I shouldn't feel guilty about stuttering but I do and it makes me sad. Shouldn't I be excited for these type of stuff ? Isn't expressing your ideas through words something that should make you happy ? Why can't I express myself more ? I feel like my tongue is tied around itself or something. I dont feel comfortable enough to vent to anyone so here I am. :) Sorry if my ideas aren't clear or properly organized.
