Hey I'm 20 and I was also going insane now I have lots of responsibilities that I can't just get out of. One thing that helped me (but it took a long time to realise) is that most people don't actually care that much if I stutter. I used to be too scared to ask my professors questions, or order at a counter in a shop... But because I \*\*must\*\* do those things now, I've had lots of experiences that were way less stressful than I imagined in my head. I know its super hard to put yourself out there, but for me being able to look back and think 'Oh yeah the barista didn't laugh in my face last time' gives me the confidence to order something again. Hopefully things get easier for you! :)
