Anybody in this subreddit who actually overcomes stuttering instead of just saying "I'm never gonna get better, so just deal with it."? I've been stuttering since I was like 4. I've had speech therapy in those earlier years, but my stutter would always come back. I'm 17 now, and my stutter usually comes and goes, but for months, it's been the worst it's ever been. It's gotten in front of every social aspect of my life. I'm really trying to be social, but I genuinely just can't anymore. Personally, I do not want to live the rest of my life dealing with a stutter, but I'm sure that's the sad truth of it. Is there anyone who has actually overcome it? Everywhere I look in this subreddit are just people basically saying to suck it up and admit you're going to stutter the rest of your life, so don't let it hold you back.. or something. But there's gotta be some way to actually get better, right? Thanks
