Hey, I know exactly what you feel like. 24m, it’s so awful living with this. I would say mine is moderate to severe. Some days are better than others. It’s been the root of all my anxiety and depression, which I’m on Venlafaxine for. The more I open up about it the better I feel. It’s a very slow process, but it’s better than nothing. I have a very small and tight friend group I met in college that accepts me for who I am. We always crack jokes at each other. My stuttering is never off limits, which actually helps. If they avoided bringing up my stuttering it would be a big elephant in the room. My career is in engineering and I’m very proud of that. There are times I have to “advocate for myself” and I feel awful about being different. Overcoming this is the only way I think I’ll feel good about myself, too. I dream of being able to wake up, feel a switch in my brain, and saying whatever comes to mind. How did psychedelics help your mental state? I have been thinking about it, never have tried them. I smoke a lot of weed to calm my mind down. I want to take a serious attempt at meditation.
