How old are you guys? no joke this is how I thought when I was young but at 21 I got the luckyest break of my life and met a girl who gave me the time to talk to her and I worked on my speech so much that I now don't stammer with friends and family (but I do in interviews etc). My mother couldn't believe it when I brought her back and was able to talk to not only my girlfriend but my MOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME. All that was needed was a soul I could connect to and borrow a little positive energy and support from without fear of being judged. I nearly ended it all many times, I'm 29 now and I feel shocked at how much I've changed in these 8 years.....There is hope!
