I wish there was a treatment for stuttering I fucking hate not being able to talk, interact and socialize as much as I want, having to constantly worry about teachers making me do class presentations and shit. always being quiet and people thinking I don't like to socialize when I would love too but can't. It's either I speak and embarrass myself or I just stay quiet which obviously I prefer the latter. I hate how there isn't any medical treatments for this shit, there's nothing I can do to make my stutter go away so I just have to suffer and be miserable, it's crazy to me how they can make treatments for OCD but they can't do it for speech disorders which is more disabling. It's just as stupid now there's a vaccine for a virus that's only 2 years old but not for the ones that's been around for literally half of century or more, it's goofy as hell to me.
