Is anyone else's self esteem shattered? I'm at work now, stuttered all day. I'm about to get off in 10 minutes (thank You Lord). As soon as I get to my bedroom I am turning off all my lights and I'm going to hide under my blanket. I feel so embarrassed of my speech. When I answer the phone and someone hangs up immediately after I stutter, I hate myself. It makes me feel so worthless. I know this is not the truth but in the heat of the moment it sure feels that way!
