Stuttering is destroying me Hey everyone. I’m 17 male who stuttered through out his life. I’ve gone through speech therapy for a period of time, which slightly helped me boost my self awareness and confidence. Although i stopped going due to financial issues. From time to time I address my issues to my parents, but they dismiss my issue and say it’s not a big one compared to people who have no food or water. I’m certain that stuttering has a negative effect on my physical and mental health. I find myself overthinking most of the time and feel dissociated from my surroundings. I’ve always lacked in making friends, and if I made friends, it’s quite hard to maintain the friendship due to my low self esteem and anxiety. I don’t have any sort of support system, or someone who I can rant and share my problems with. I’ve recently joined this community and hope to find some sort of support, as well as gain information on how to overcome these issues and gain knowledge about any techniques and excercises that help control my stuttering.
