Stuttering has ruined my life in some aspects As the title states stuttering has ruined me in some ways mainly through socializing…when I was younger I used to stutter mildly but it wasn’t too crazy it wasn’t until high school when it got even worse and I took speech therapy and it got better! Until…I came out to my parents about my depression and when I started to take anti depression i notice that my stutter has gotten worse and I haven’t been able to fix it and I don’t know what to do because it seems to have gotten worse. My friends tease me on it saying I get excited to say something but in reality I just want to speak and I don’t know how to stop. When my grandma from Mexico came to visit and I tried to speak to her in Spanish I started to stutter and I’ve never stuttered in Spanish…now I feel like crap so please any recommendations on how to help me without stuttering much I usually stutter every other sentence. Also very sorry if this seems terrible this is my first post!
