Surviving Does anyone feel like stuttering has completely like ruined their lives? Like it’s created so many obstacles that you have no idea how you are even alive? It’s so limiting and so frustrating. To the point I am over explaining to others what I go through. People just don’t understand. It’s like living with a demon. Social impacts. Financial impacts. You name it. My mental health has been destroyed by my stuttering. I really don’t know where on earth I have found the internal strength inside me to carry on with this disorder. Somewhere deep within me is the strength. I have no idea how but I’m still here and I’m still going. The path is not easy but I continue to push. I’ve reached out to community groups. Told my story a million times. Went to mental health support organisations. I was even homeless at one point because I couldn’t find stable accomodation. Because… I struggle to work and struggle to speak. There’s so much more I want to do with my life. At one point I was suicidal. And I have to find a way to do it with a stutter. Not an easy path at all. But here we are. Well done to all those continuing to live with this thing.
