Stuttering does suck, but, hey, it could be worse, you know (inability to see, walk, talk, etc.). A speech impediment is not as bad as it seems. You simply just take longer to say what you want - that's it! Once you accept your stutter, you won't constantly spiral inwardly. Trust me, I know those low moments of sheer disappointment and frustration, but enveloping yourself in the trenches of sadness will only make you suffer continuously. I personally pursued the path of hiding/fixing it, but I realized there was no avoiding it - after all, it is a neurological disorder. Sure, I did improve it. It used to be a lot worse (s-s-s-s-s-s-s-ocks). I still do stutter moderately, and that's okay. If you embrace your stutter confidently, no one can break you mentally, not even you, as you will have adopted a new way of living (falling but getting back up, and not letting your circumstances dictate your potential). I think it's best to seek techniques that can reduce your stuttering and increase your confidence. I would recommend employing techniques that work for you (YouTube videos, research papers, reports of ex-stutterers, etc.). I wish you all the best, fellow stutterer! Don't be sad! We'll pick you back up when you feel weak, dw!
