Oh yeah big time. Considering stuttering ruined my life..but I don't let those thoughts stay in my mind for too long considering I love my family & they need me, even though I am a burden to them alot of times.. So even though suicide has been thought about alot, I just try to enjoy my life as much as possible while I can..suicide doesn't make much sense anyway considering life is so short. Unless your in a insane amount of suffering that doesn't end I think suicide is pointless...Just try to enjoy life and not care about what others think...take it from me, I've been through it all with stuttering (major public embarrassment, made to look like a fool, bullied, beaten up & sent to the hospital as a kid, people not respecting me (even my own friends & family sometimes), intense social anxiety & isolation....and I'm still here! When alot of people would either be heavy drug addicts or dead.....don't let the the stuttering or asshole people who disrespected you about a handicap win. Keep on striving to be Happy while your alive!
