My depression and ego dissolution have caused me to stutter worse. It's like when I'm around people these days I can't be myself and result in saying words I know I won't stutter on like "thats true" "cool" "nice" etc. I miss being able to express myself completely. I feel like I've attached so many negative emotions to stuttering that every time I stutter it absolutely destroys the little confidence I have and makes me wanna cry but I can't because I don't want people to see me as weak. Damn whats wrong with me
