Stutter causing depression. Hello all, I’ve been stuttering since I was 3 years old and I’m 19 now. It’s always been super difficult for me and it’s starting to take its toll on my mental health. Over the years my social skills and confidence have become obsolete and I’m a shell of the person I know I could be. I’m currently looking for work and it’s been hard and stressful. My social life is becoming non existent. I can’t do anything by myself because I can’t speak lmao. My type of stuttering is when you can’t get your words out and you’re stood there for ages trying to say something. I recent years my mental health has been really bad because of it. It’s hard to open up about it all because no one understands and they say they do but they don’t. Being jobless, having little to no confidence and not being able to talk for myself has become such a burden. Suicide has even crossed my mind a few times and it’s scary that it’s even become an option. I really don’t know what to do anymore because I’m stuck in a loop of nothingness. I just thought I’d post here and speak with people who can relate to me.
