I agree. I used to blame my stammer for all my problems and misery. In reality, I just have a melancholic disposition and a collection of psychiatric conditions. After years of overcoming depression I'm the happiest I've ever been (and more fluent as I've addressed the psychological causes of stammering). I'm most happy when walking in the woods, playing guitar, hanging out with friends, reading, or listening to audio books. A speech impediment doesn't have to be a life impediment.
