I don't know if it was depression from a clinical standpoint, but I did become numb to everything. I was socially anxious and was afraid to talk. Luckily I was never bullied because of it, and I could always count on my family and friends, but I went to therapy because I needed to, and it helped me understand that I was the only one making my stutter a huge deal, bigger than it actually was. I'm glad I sought therapy and would recommend it to anyone with similar thoughts in mind.
