Sick and tired Im really getting sick and tired of everyone around me. Whenever i stutter people act like I have a mental illness and ignore me for the rest of the day. And what bothers me most is that when I ask my parents to find a speech therapy for me they always end up saying "you don't need a speech therapy just talk slow and don't be shy" well i wish it was that easy ! Im so suicidal nowadays and it's becoming a part of my everyday routine. it really saddens me since people around my age usually go out and work for their dreams :( my dream is to become a politician but because of stuttering it's literally impossible.
