does anyone feel like they arent a normal functioning member of society due to the (social) anxiety that comes with a stutter? i also suffer from GAD so i guess this isnt stutter specific but still, my stutter has increased my anxiety tenfold (especially with my social anxiety). this anxiety has made me miss out on SO much and its resulted in me feeling like im so far behind my peers, emotionally and mentally. i look at all my school friends getting jobs, meeting so many new people and just generally making so much progress with their lives and im sat here struggling to arrange a doctors appointment for myself. i know not everyones gonna have the same path in life but fuck me man it sucks. i feel like my stutter will never leave, resulting in the social anxiety never leaving, but this social anxiety makes me feel worse which makes my speech worse, etc. its just an endless cycle of suffering
