Does anyone else get seriously depressed due to stuttering? I’m sure the answer is yes for a lot of you. Sometimes I feel fairly accepting of it and manage it, then other days I just want to scream and shout because I can’t project who I really am due to this fucking speech impediment. I’m naturally outgoing and bubbly so that makes it so fucking hard. I’m so sick of it sometimes.. I can’t join in social chit chat whether amongst my fucking closest friends whenever I wish whilst they all say what they want. I’m so tired. I’m so so tired
