I like getting out of the house. Meeting new people when I can even if I am nervous to talk. I enjoy music. I do enjoy live music and bands when I get a chance to go to events. I go to the gym. I explained to my PT that I have mental health issues. Didn’t directly tell him about my stutter. Just told him I have bad anxiety. I find it hard to talk but I can still exercise for better mental health and physical health. I am on disability benefits because of my stutter. Tried working and it was too stressful. I don’t work. I can’t I get too stressed my stutter gets worse and I get depressed and shut down. Really I’m just trying to build structure. Gym is a major part of that. Also I attend community groups. There’s spaces in my local community that are open at night for anyone experiencing mental health issues. Like drop in. They have tea and biscuits. And everyone just sits around and talks about their experiences. I struggle to speak but I told people at the community centre that I have a stutter and it makes it a bit better as they hold space for me and understand. Also, how lucky are we to have the internet and the ability to type… imagine not being able to write.
