>Hi, thanks a lot for the detailed answer! I won't say I'm depressed but there is a lot going through my head. You know, the regular stuff - suicidal thoughts (never had the courage to act upon them), low self esteem, body dysmorphia, self-sabotaging, anxiety about the future, comparing myself to others etc. Two years ago I had a period when I didn't want to get out of bed, stopped working out, stopped going to the university etc... But my family was like "just man up" and then my ex broke up with me. So I started put in the work, I just continue to wake up every morning and try my best. I'm functioning well but the thoughts are still there and when they strike it might be harsh sometimes. So I thought maybe there is something that might help with that and with my stutter. I tried Stamurai for 6 months, didn't notice a difference. It was very similar to the fluency shaping therapy I tried when I was 18.
