does any other stutterer suffer from depression? it really is the worst combination. i feel mentally exhausted all the time, which makes my speech even worse. i've always stuttered but it's the worst it's ever been. i have extremely long blocks where nothing comes out. i dont have any friends and nobody to talk to. i'm unable to do basic stuff like say hi, order a coffee or answer the phone
