Hi, Thanks for replying. Coincidentally, I'm actually doing my homework right now, I know for certain I'll have to read it out loud tomorrow, so naturally I've spent the whole day stressing. I spend my whole day feeling sick with fear and I think I may be depressed. The thing that depresses me most is knowing I'll never had a totally normal life. I know I'll never be able to have little conversations or banter, I'll never truly speak my mind and I'll probably never be cool around girls. It's just frustrated seeing all my fellow students talking casually, taking it for granted. I honestly believe I would love school and have a totally positive outlook on life if I didn't stutter. Anyway, sorry for my venting. I'd appreciate if you could share any and all tips you have ever used as I will need all the help I can get. Thanks again for the advice on meditation and I'll be starting speech therapy soon
