Oh I didn't mean to undervalue your experience, if I came across like that. I'm very happy to hear that some of us found a way to live a happy life with stutter and even to see the perks of it. I just...

I get where you're coming from and love your optimism. For me it's easy to be positive now, but there were times when I could barely speak and I even dropped out from college bc I couldn't communicate...

I need better advice than “push yourself”

I need better advice than “push yourself” I need advice from the only people who actually understand what it’s like... I’m so ******* sick and tired of people’s advice to be to “push yourself”...Tha...

“I’ve been this way so long it feels like something’s off when I’m not depressed” - a line from Happy by NF I think this describes it well. I get what you mean. I’m the same. This fear, this cage I’m...

Agreed, sounds like depression, but I'm not a medical doctor. I have been working with a holistic psychiatrist recently. She doesn't do talk therapy, but she had thorough blood work done for me and ...

This. I even have this constant feeling that I don't know my "self" anymore. Like, a constant feeling of derealization. Not sure if that's caused by my stuttering though....

Honestly sounds like you got depression even if you don’t want to admit it. A therapist can help shift your perspective. I’ve felt like this a few times in my life and it’s terrible so I understand....

It does sound a bit like depression, but honestly, it comes down to your beliefs. Beliefs are the driving force behind everything we do. People get divorced because of beliefs. Nations go to war based...

How to feel any positive emotions, how to achieve happiness, how to find purpose?

How to feel any positive emotions, how to achieve happiness, how to find purpose? I was thinking a lot, and i realized that lately everything seems meaningless, it's not because i am very sad or depre...

I think in some cases, like mine, we have a mild stutter only, but crippling anxiety and depression from a long time, which contributes to our stutter. So it may work for me to be more confident. B...

Stuttering is really a huge pain!- emotionally, psychologically, physically! 😭😢...

The problem is I don't find "milfs" attractive unless they still look kinda youthfull looking. People have told me I still look 24/25 so I still want to talk to women that & and a little older. ...

Slow down buddy, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We struggle with speaking fluently sometimes. Things could be a lot worse, and are for many people. Speech therapy would not have made you rich...

17M turning 18, thoughts of impending doom.

17M turning 18, thoughts of impending doom. Its all over, when you're poor and you stutter your options are limited by a large amount. If my mother took me to speech therapy when I was younger I could...

Feeling kinda hopeless at the moment

Feeling kinda hopeless at the moment I'm normally pretty positive, but I had a really awful day today. Tried to explain something at work and I just couldn't get any words out. Felt like an idiot, I k...

But I don't care if people laugh or not. There are many different people around. Those who laugh usually never faced real pain and constant self-hatred when you are so broken that you want to end your...

Completely related to you! By the way it's not funny at all, my stuttering is very severe and it broke my life. I live in a depression all my antisocial life with nervous tics. There were times when I...

Yeah it's good that it's funny to you, but maybe it didnt hold u back in life as much...But for me it's nothing to laugh it. It's held me back & caused so much pain & ptsd I can't imagine lett...

Additionally: * **In my opinion**, PWS may not understand that fearing the desire of fluency could lead to more unsafety and more pain. For example, we may push away, run away from, suppress, despira...
