What can I do when I'm mentally exhausted of stuttering` It's not that I need to accept my stuttering or learn to live with it, I feel that I already have. Problem is that I'm simply exhausted. I'm exhausted by all those moments when I want to say something and it ends up being a 5-minute ordeal, exhausted of making people uncomfortable when I just wants to say hi or respond to a compliment. I just don't have the capacity to take it anymore, I want to lock myself in and rest. I don't wanna have to speak anymore. Everyday I get more and more exhausted and ordering something or picking up the phone requires more and more force from myself. What can I do? What can I do when I don't have the capacity to keep on?
