It is a good feeling to know that I am not alone. I have been stuttering since I was 8 years old. I am 22 now and I just had a baby in July. I never knew anyone else who stuttered. I am happy that I found this website. Its very comforting to know theres others like me out there.
People who do not stutter dont understand the disadvantages we have. I cant even order chinese food over the phone I have to ask my sister to call. I have a daughter now so I have more responsibilities than ever. That means making doctor appointments for her and when I do have to call it takes me like a million years to get a word out. Sometimes I have to laugh at myself in order for me to not put myself down. I dont know if its only me but I feel like a failure because of my stuttering. It has held me back from so many things. Even school. Everyone tells me my stuttering will improve and some days it does but other days its worse than ever. I dont know why or how I started stuttering. I hate it!!! LOL. When I hear people talking and not stutter I dont understand how people can just talk normally. Its so hard for me not to stutter. Sometimes I have to change my words around that I dont even say what I really wanted to. To be a stutterer is not easy and is not an easy way to live. I just want people to know that and have consideration and patients for us that stutter.
