I am sorry you feel unsupported on the subreddit - for what it's worth, you do raise very excellent points. We have many PWSs [in our Discord](https://discord.gg/ruf5BAt) who have extremely severe stutters, just like you mentioned, 15-20+sec per block. it's hard out here. and yes, we all need a space to vent and complain and sulk and wallow sometimes. the issue that we run into as a mod team is not allowing it to get TOO too dark and into the 'wanting to shuffle myself off this mortal coil' type of doomer-ism, ya know? there is a time and a place for positivity, and shoving toxic positivity down the throat of PWSs who have to deal with an objectively very severe stutter compared to a fairly mild, "socially acceptable" one isn't helping anyone. hope your week gets better from here on out. feel free to check out our discord - lots of complaining, but also lots of friendly commiseration and jokes too.
