Hey mate, I feel you! I have a stutter and severe ADD. I was judged my entire life because of these two. If you tell me something once, I‘ll forget about it a minute later and you‘ll have to tell me about 30 times so I can fully understand and remember it. My whole life I was in special ED class. Can you imagine what my family told me when I said I wanted to go to a whole different country, live a year there and learn their language? No one thought I could do it. No one. And I did it. People make fun of my stutter sometimes. They think I do it because I speak another new language or they think it is just a joke. They think I WANT to be distracted during class. I tell them I can‘t help it, and either they believe it or not, I move on. I learned that life is so much more than just laying in my bed and wondering: why am I not as smart as all the kids in my class? Why can‘t I remember things I just learned? Why can‘t I just stand in front of the class and talk 10 minutes on my presentation? This cycle of thought made me so depressed I honestly wanted to kill myself. But life is too short, alright? I does suck sometimes and you do wish you could just speak fluently sometimes! But so is life. I don‘t know why I was born the way I am and I don‘t know why I was born in the country I am from. And I also don‘t know why I was born with a stutter and ADD. But we have to move on! If you accept things you aren‘t able to change, life will be much better for you. Don‘t hate yourself for who you are! And you‘re never alone:)
