What country do you live in? I feel like connecting with other people who stutter helped reassure me that I could get a job and I could have success in whatever I wanted to do in life. I think it's hard when you feel alone and you don't see the success stories. For example, when I was in college I felt very alone and disconnected. Calling me depressed would have been accurate. I didn't know that I could stutter, still work, and have success. It was only when I met other people who stutter in graduate school and through the national stuttering association (USA) that I felt for the first time, "You know, you can do this"
