I feel ya buddy. I’ve had those days specially when I was in high school. Just keep your heads up. I honestly don’t know what to say to make ur day better but I really wish for u to have a better day and life. I’ll share what helped me not give up on life and feel so depressed. I hope it helps you too; I remember one day when I was feeling soo down and depressed and had utterly given up. I walked outta hs class and walked 15 miles back home just crying my eyes out. When I reached home I locked myself in the bathroom with the lights off. It was winter time and my house was really cold. I was sitting in the cold dark bathroom floor. It was soo dark i could not see my hands in front me. Just pitch darkness, cold and pin drop silent to keep me company. That’s when I started appreciating the things that I have! I was soo great full for my sight, my hearing, my senses, my family and everything. I was great full to be alive. I felt bad for people who couldn’t see or hear or talk. I felt guilty for feeling so down and giving up in life when there r people who have it worse than me. I don’t know how long I spent there in that bathroom but when I came out I was a changed man. I still have bad days but I don’t let it get to me as I used to. I really hope my experience helps you. P.S. goodluck with the girl :) remember if she is the one she won’t care for ur stutter and see you for who u are.
