I hate my life. I know alot of people not read all of this but it’s 3am right now and I have it on my mind, stuttering has completely taken over and ruined my life. The earliest I can remember stuttering was in 7th grade but it wasn’t as bad as it was now. Ever since I started high school my stuttering problem has dictated my whole life and has caused me 4 years of straight depression and suicidal thoughts. I’m currently 18 and just graduated high school about a week ago and I’ve been suicidal my whole high school career mainly because of all the problems my stuttering problem caused me. I had no friends, never went to any football games, and never did any school activities. Now that I just graduated I realize that life is only gonna get worse for me now that I’m an adult and can’t even talk. I seriously don’t know what to do I’m just so lost and wish I could just talk normal like the people I hear everyday. I can’t even do normal things like tell someone my name when they need it, never ordered through a drive through. I’m just so tired of dealing with this because it affects my life so much. I always think about how much better life could be for me if I didn’t have a stuttering problem. I just wish there was an easy way out because I don’t wanna be here anymore if I’m gonna have to deal with this for the rest of my life.
