My stutter is my depression. Whenever I speak I can’t get words out so I always l have to abandon whatever I want to say. This makes me not be able to do anything from developing relationships and friendships to defending myself or my points in conversations or even starting conversations / continuing them and adding stuff onto them. Whenever I express my concerns about this to someone who doesn’t stutter they just say “it’s not that bad” or “it’s only in your head” but they can only say that because they don’t do it. Then I come off as some gloomy guy who’s quiet when in reality my body is a prison that’s silences every word I want to say due to repetitive sounds or blocks. It sucks.
