I feel like I’m at the end of my rope. I’ve had a stutter my entire life. I thought I had reached the point of acceptance but I’ve realized that I’ve just done by best to suppress my feelings towards it. My anxiety is at an all time high and I feel it affecting my relationships and my work. Everyday interactions with the world are completely draining to me. Seeing my friends be able to freely express their thoughts and ideas with each other while I bottle mine up makes me feel so alien and alone. This my first time posting and it’s been long overdue. Thank you all for sharing your stories and feelings. It’s comforting to know that this not unique to just me.
