Yes, lately everyday because it makes me almost impossible to have a good job and perform normally. I passed a lot of years in the academic sector (I am mathematical physicist), people there is particularly patient because they are relaxed as they aren't looking for profit somehow. After I quitted that sector and tried to have positions in the industry, stuttering becomes an overwhelming disability. Specially for me, I stutter more in English (my mother language is Spanish). Looking for jobs in the US is specially hard. I look for remote jobs from Mexico, I can't move to much, it turns out that aside stuttering, I am crippled. So yes, in summary I want to kill myself everytime I feel that underperformed in a meeting or in a task (it's hard also then to preserve a job). If I were alone, I would already have done it, but I have to take care of my wife and my Mom (she's ok, but she would die if one of her sons commit suicide).
