Feeling hopeless I was doing okay up until last week when I had a presentation. I cried after it and felt so ashamed. I’m a nursing student and hate that I’m the only one who stutters. I know I’m valued but I don’t feel smart or worthy. I want to say this is the lowest I’ve felt in a while. It’s really hard to stay optimistic. I don’t want to drop out but I feel so stupid. I know my shit and I’m smart but I can’t verbalize it as fluently as I want without stuttering. I know this isn’t healthy.
