The bullying as a child made me very depressed but I already suffer from depression. I thought about suicide but never came close to acting on it. I always thought of the stuff I would miss: but...

All those things are part of the psychological side of billions of things. It's not like anxiety, depression, and isolation are unique to disfluency, nor is it as if a stutterer couldn't be confident,...

I can't do punchline things at all!! I only try them with my closest friends, sister or SO - they think it's hilarious even when my delivery falls flat, because if I'm giggling it infects them, too :)...
