Stutter seems to control my life Just found this subreddit, glad I did. I'm 21f, began stuttering when I was 8. It improved but now I'm 21 and it's worse. I do have anxiety, more social anxiety, so I do feel that could be a factor. But my stutter suddenly makes me feel depressed, there have been days where I would cry a lot over embarrasing moments such as interviews or not being able to order a frappucino. I don't know anyone who stutters, which can be pretty lonely. I try to talk about it to my Mum but she'll never get it. And I'm too embarrased to talk about it with others. I work in retail, so i talk to strangers daily. I can handle it, less talking than you'd think but there are longer interactions that are difficult for me. And because lately I've been depressed it's hard to enjoy work or even socialise with coworkers. I've only been there a month and find it hard to make friends or even carry out on convo with those I work closely with. I am worried about my future, dating and self confidence all because of this stupid stutter.
