I can relate. Sometimes bad experiences like this one really help you down the line. It may take time to heal, but you will learn from this. Give yourself the time and space to be emotional, and the time and space to move on from this. I always end up assuring myself that I’m destined for bigger and better things, but it took me a while to reach that point. Regret can eat away at you, until you’re left with nothing but the stutter. Please be kind to yourself so that you don’t reach that stage. You’ve got an entire community to support you, so thank you for sharing a story that shows us how much we have in common.
