42 year old with the five words that I found post cancer treatment for thyroid cancer having had a lifelong stutter. My degree in in drama such was the chip on my shoulder about the stutter. No regrets though. In the last four years I've had to endure body dysphoria as I developed an agitation that saw to in groen hairs basically rearranging my face, eyebrows went under the bone, disappeared and the very shape of my face is unrecognisable to those who knew me before. I'm aromantic and live alone with my cat. I have no desire in finding another relationship having had previous ones that lasted up to 7 years. I'm atheist or rather non religious having been raised catholic. I'm apolitical and prefer philosophy and have spent four decades lost in my head tying to understand what part of my identity my stutter actually is. And what saved me personally was finding Albert Camus, learning about his interpretation of the Myth of Sisyphus and then adopting the five word mantra that sums the whole philosophical existential perspective up in a nutshell... One must imagine Sisyphus happy I say this a lot on this sub. Empathy. Pure unfiltered empathy. Please please please watch Hi Ren by the Welsh singer Ren on YouTube as it encapsulates that empathy for exactly what it means to know you will never be normal. One love
