Stuttering is so incredibly exhausting

Stuttering is so incredibly exhausting I have tried everything to better my stutter and it just keeps getting worse and worse. My confidence has literally shattered because of it. I avoid people and situations where I even have a percent possibility of stuttering in. I feel like I cannot talk to anyone about it; although my family is really really supportive. But, I don’t want to burden them. I’ve been emotional for weeks now and just feel stuck. As a recent graduate, I’ve also faced immense difficulty finding a job. My peers are already in incredible positions and I’m finding it difficult to fight the battle of my mind. I’m sorry for this long rant, just wanted to get it out to people who would potentially understand my feeling.
