Sudden mental breaks

Sudden mental breaks I’ve been dealing with a worsened stammer due to extremely low vitamin D levels and respiratory infections over the past few months. I have a lot of stress otherwise too: financial, family, job-search. Today I had a stressful discussion with my neurodivergent family about a major life decision and I just completely snapped after not being able to get some words out. Calling them pigs, insulting their life decisions, saying they deserve to have stutters instead of me because they have nothing useful to say. Crying, screaming, seizing while trying to speak. I’m aware there are stutterers who do not go through this at all but having a stutter in combination with my particular set of issues is just so fucking exhausting and humiliating. I don’t want to be like this anymore.
