I've already accepted that I will live like this until the end of my days. I no longer have the strength to fight, to look forever for a cure for stuttering, to force myself into society and each time experience the wildest shame and pain for my ailments. and with a severe stuttering, social and professional life is almost impossible. I am now trying to graduate from university, find a regular job and just exist quietly, although I always wanted more. for example, to realize myself in what I really like to do. but the stuttering ruined everything. but as soon as I turned 20, I realized that the miracle would no longer come. and a lot has already been lost. but I think we should looking for myself. We need to find something that will define us more than speech. some skills and abilities. but for starters, it’s worth removing all your depressive moods and just accepting the whole situation. and just try to get out of it in small steps
