1000% my life would be so much better. Stuttering has literally destroyed my life. I lost count at the number of suicidal attempts I have taken on myself. Multiple times in psychiatry hospitals. The brutal teasing in school and fights. I am to this day get such anxiety, panic, and scared knowing that in order for me to survive and function with day to day life, speaking is involved. The isolation and loneliness is off the charts. Yep this is my hell.
