At 22 I was so lost as well. I stuttered ofcourse, was self diagnosed as depressed, even took up the awful habit of drinking and doing weed a bit later. I hardly ever went out except for finishing my accursed education. At which I rarely talked. Now at 30 I love my life. I still stutter and still rarely go out by my incentive. My gf tends to drag me along though. I never would have a relationship with this girl at 22. In the mean time my perspective on a lot of things changed. People went, situations changed and all the things I used to think were so important (like stuttering, like being anxious) just diminished. It seems so trivial now. I’m having a kid soon. Like with my gf I hardly think when talking to her, and with which I stelt stutter. It’s more pure. And when I hold up my kid you think for a second I will think about not stuttering? I will think about the social dynamic and my representation in which? Hells no. I will simply express my feelings. So I guess what I’m saying is that for me the change occurred when I started to had more important goals, when I did the dreaded expanding of the personal horizon. And with which I cared more about myself, started doing physical exercise (yoga mainly), ate better and whatnot. There is no straight solution. It’s this cocktail of everything life has to offer which goes down very slowly. Just keep drinking it.
