The best drug of choice! During Covid I was working in a call center and we all got told we would be working from home. The first week was brilliant and then the reality of it sank in. I got really depressed and my stutter got worse and worse. I wanted to beat myself up all the time. It got to a point where I thought about torturing myself and running popped into mind. I forced myself out each night and I hated every moment of it. I started to see myself getting quicker and I could run for longer. Soon enough, I was running a 5k every night and I no longer hated it. My stutter improved, my mood improved, I was losing weight. That was the best thing to happen to me
