Need help/advice with stuttering and my life. Basically stuttering has ruined my life. I am 24 years old. I have been isolating myself for the past 6 years after high school. I didn't go to college because I was too scared. After 2 years I finally went but quit after half a year because my stuttering was really bad and couldn't cope with it. Now 4 years later I'm 24 years old and don't know what to do.. I work dead jobs here and there. They make me hate my life even more, because I know I have so much more in me. At the moment I have some motivation and am positive sometimes, however this changes daily.. I'm thinking about going to college and being transparent to the school about stuttering and going to speech therapy aswell. However finishing at 28.. And still being scared whether I can do the job properly later, because for all jobs nowadays communication is 'so important' . Doing presentations, meetings, calling etc (already hate the idea). Also I have the feeling I really don't fit in at a college anymore because of how long I have been out of social settings. Or maybe anyone knows other options besides going to college, because I'm really not sure if I can see myself walking around there for 4 years, in general and also at my age. I also feel like I have the worst personality for stuttering and I feel very embarrassed about it. I think everyone in this community goes through similar things and we understand eachother. So I'm hoping someone here can share his/her experience and give me advice, because if I could give advice to my 18 year old self I think I would have turned out allright, at least better than where I'm at now. I would really appreciate it, because I am really stuck right now and don't know what to do.
