It's not my fault, I have a disability, and Im done blaming myself full stop. I realized today that stuttering isn't my fault, i never chose to have a stutter, and It's not my duty to cure it. no amount of effort i put in will ever cure it or get rid of it. and people will suggest that i can try to do exposure therapy and everything that i can to "improve" my stutter, but Im not fighting myself. nothing i was ever taught in speech therapy ever was effective when a stutter took control and the block had me locked. i can't escape the block no matter what i do. i can only try to mitigate it. From now on im considering myself disabled, and im going to treat myself as a person with a disability instead of as a person who isn't "working hard enough" to improve it. Stuttering is not my fault, and im gonna stop blaming myself for my reactions and thoughts about having a stutter. if i choose to talk then ill talk, if i choose to not ever talk then i wont ever talk. im not gonna chastise myself over not pushing myself into more speaking situations
