Last year, I tried to kill myself twice because of my anxiety, depression, and stuttering. I can't bear the fact that I can't have a "normal" life because of my speech disorder. People often think I'm crazy or just ignore me and go away while I'm talking. Making friends in real life has also become really hard. I studied basically with the same people from middle school to high school, so they were used to my stutter. In college, however, things are more complicated, since adults are more worried about working and studying than waiting 40 seconds for someone to say their name.
