i've been there dude, it can feel overwhelming, but as someone else once said, a stutter is like a sword being tempered in the flame. you are becoming stronger through all of this. as another one of the posters said, you can still lead a very rewarding life with a stutter, it just takes time to get used to and to accept. in most cases, the stutter seems worse and offends us more than it does the other person. most people don't care about this and the people that do are generally insecure and screwed up in their own way. hang in there man! we are there for you, you are not alone in this struggle!
