You're allowed to feel whatever you feel. Other people being relentlessly positive is no good when you're in that place. I've been there. On the other hand, when people have been through loads of s...

With stuttering, any “changes” usually work for a while. You’re going to forever be chasing that beast. Like for example, people have found that doing a fake ascent gets rid of their stutter….until yo...
