tbh i feel like my stuttering triggered my mental health issues. it def increased my anxiety. i’ve always been shy, since i was a toddler, but developing a stutter made it so much worse to the point where i have social anxiety now and still as a 21 and i think about it a lot and i def think i wouldn’t b as scared to speak up in class and talk to others if i didn’t have a stutter. tbh sometimes i feel like my mental health would b a lot better if i didn’t stutter but idk if that would b true or not
