You will survive despite how you're feeling right now. There are things we can do to help make our lives more livable. We've all been where you are right now, wondering how we can even just endure the pain and frustration of being a PWS. I'm a 77f and I'm still dealing with the effects and stigma of stuttering all my life. I managed a successful marriage to a wonderful professional man and parented 2 amazing children. That was fortunate because I was too embarrassed by my even mild stutter to compete in my field of mental health. There are many strategies that others have successfully used to attenuate their stuttering. There are online and in-person support groups. Even at my age, I'm going to seek speech therapy at a local medical school. Giving up isn't an option because taking no steps to improve things only leaves us with an even worse situation. My major depressive disorder has very often caused me to feel like you feel and say the same things you're writing. It was very helpful for me to realize that stuttering is a medical condition. We might hate our situation but its no more something to be embarrassed about than diabetes, epilepsy, or deafness. Hopefully, the general population will recognize us as worthy and have more respect and understanding, just as depression and Asbergers are now regarded as just another variant of individuality. Please don't give up. There is new understanding and treatment every year, and even new drug therapies are being developed. Even at my advanced age, I have hope and will continue to seek improvement.
