I have stuttered all my life and it seems like I will die stuttering. I just don't want this to be a part of my life anymore. That's it. That's the post. Sorry if this added no value or scope for discussion. I just felt like saying this in a spell of anxiety. Every time I feel like I am very much in the moment and full of confidence to speak, something clutches me back like shackles tied to your feet, just that it does to the words coming out of my mouth. I don't want this anymore.
