I need support Hi—I love you already. I know that you understand my struggle if you are in this sub. Please tell me your biggest challenge. Some people respect me enough to let me speak but it still doesn’t stop my stuttering. Although I appreciate people finishing my sentences for me, the frustration of getting words out has me in limbo. On one hand I appreciate their empathy; on the other hand I want to be normal. What are your coping mechanisms?
