I need to re-accept mine It’s weird because I’ve had a stutter as long as I could remember but I never worried about it. I just accepted I was a stutterer and didn’t care how I sounded to other people. Eventually it got better to the point where no one really knew I stuttered but I still thought of myself as one. Then one day I got really bad depression and the stutter came back even worse than before. Because I knew of a time where I didn’t stutter, I tried extra hard to not stutter which just made things worse. So now I have to work hard again to just accept that I will stutter.
