A spark of hope. So since about middle school or so my stutter has been getting much worse and my mental health is also faltering. Almost every day without fail I feel bad and I feel down, like Im in a hole that keeps getting deeper and colder. Today something in my mind just snapped, I sat on my bed, blank expression open mouth and tears pouring down my cheeks, probably an hour passed, then I got up and went about my buisness, but that horrible feeling remained. At the evening me and my dad talked, I told him how I felt and just cried while hugging him, he told me not to lose hope nor loosen my will all will be better one day(maybe... maybe). This gave me a spark, a spark of hope. Plus I found this subreddit, I found you people. I really can not describe what joy came over me when I found this place, there are others like me, they share my pain, they know what I'm going through, I AM NOT ALONE! Maybe someday that spark of childish hope and happines can ignite into a flame again.
