Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around in awhile. I've been dealing with other issues as well as stuttering, which I'll talk about. Things were going alright I guess, I was seeing a therapist as well as a speech therapist, and then my mental health dropped. OCD tensions rose incredibly, as well as self injury started with me and am still struggling with it. Anyway, I go to a speech group, and one of them had the producers of the True Life stuttering show come, and it was really cool. They were down to earth, and wanted to learn about stuttering, and that night I felt really good about myself. I also went to NYC and saw a play, made by stutterers, performed by stutterers, and it was really good. I recommend going to it if you can, it is called Our Time. As of now, I'm suffering from anxiety, depression, ocd, si, sad, and i think gad, eh I'm sick of all these medical terms I just want to get better! Thanks for your time, sorry I wasn't around!

Ster, please translate for me. What's ocd, si, sad, and gad?

Thanks for the info. I never knew there was so much going on that focuses on stuttering.

Sorry, obsessive compulsive disorder, self injury, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder. It's not all stutterers have this, just my luck of the cards
