It sucks. It really fucking sucks. I beat this shit when I was 36, but after stuttering for 30 years, my mental state is still kind of fucked. Life can always be better or worse. It's up to you to dec...

It’s a burden but it’s also a gift. It’s the gift of responsibility and struggle. Muscles grow because they get broken down and rebuild stronger. Through enduring our challenges, we grow stronger and ...

Yeah. You’re unlucky. We are too. Seriously just imagine, God could’ve gave you schizophrenia, which makes up 1% of the population too. **Schizophrenia!** Would you rather want that or just have a sp...

I'm so sorry for the way you feel OP. He's right, you need to change your vision on your stutter. This psychiatrist I saw a few years ago changed my vision of my stutter forever: I started to stutter ...

Are you a walking thesaurus?

Are you a walking thesaurus? When I talk I legitimately think several words ahead, and when I know a word is coming up that doesn't treat me well, I will flip in a synonym. I can usually do this on th...
