Stop saying we have to “deal” with our stutter

Stop saying we have to “deal” with our stutter We shouldn’t have to deal with something that effects our mental health tremendously and sometimes even physically hurts our jaw or muscles. I’m 16 and I’ve had my stutter from maybe about 6-7 years old. I’m starting to work out to 1. Feel comfortable with my appearance and 2. Expand my lungs as I think my stutter partially comes from a loss of breath. I go through this subreddit sometimes to try and find some advice but I just end up seeing people give up and say we have to deal with it. No, I am not going to deal with it and I’m not going to give up just because other people do. I have tried legal prescriptions of marijauna, speech therapy, hypnotherapy and many more and I’m still trying new things. I feel like I’ve wasted years of my life with this stupid stutter and I hate it. We all hate it and wish it could just magically disappear, but it won’t. It won’t go away if you decide to give up on it or get used to it so stop saying that there’s no cure because I’ve read some articles how peoples stutters have been cured using different methods. I myself sometimes feel like it won’t ever go away, I talk to my mum about something I’m excited to tell her about and I stutter. It completely takes any excitement or joy I had beforehand. But that’s my mind getting the best of me. A lot of stuttering comes from the anticipation of stuttering, however telling an over thinker (such as myself and a lot of other stutterers) to stop thinking is utter stupidity and completely useless. Do you know how horrible some people feel when people are so negative and say the worst possible answers? I have been through an insane amount of trauma so I know perfectly well how saddening it is to hear something you don’t want to hear. And I KNOW that there is a cure because there have been on and off times where I don’t stutter at all. This rant has gone on for long enough, so to cut it short; Stop saying we have to deal with it. Stop saying there is no cure. Stop being negative. It’s disgusting.
