I sometimes feel like I should just end my life..

[Shard]

I thought this would be the best place to talk about what I am feeling, since it concerns my stuttering. Throughout my life, I've had too many suicidal thoughts because of really bad speech days.. and it makes me think how that will affect my life, how will I ever got a job talking the way I do? What do people think of me? What should I do to make myself more confident with who I am and just accept the fact that this is who I'm going to be until it might possibly eventually go away?

I have had asked myself lots of questions, but throughout time, found no answers. I found out that as I get to know someone better, the more I stutter around them. I can barely speak to my family because of how much I stutter. I feel like God is playing a cruel joke on me.. and just wants me to be miserable.

I'm turning 18 soon, and I never had a decent paying job, I don't have a car, I barely have a life. I sometimes just feel like life isn't worth living without a voice.

Hey don't despair, u r not alone. As for myself, my problem's a little different. I encounter 'block', i cannot get certain words out when speaking to ppl especially over the phone or in the presence of groups of ppl. I'm 30, in the prime of career. It has affected myself confidence and esteem to a certain extent. I have intended to seek a general physician for them to make reference.
Please stay strong... to u and everyone out there!

i'm a moroccan guy aged 29 yo. My story with stuttering began from childhood not from an early age but relatively when i was 8 or 9. i dont consider myself a severe stutter; however, it does affect my life on a daily basis in varying degrees. i had difficulties in studies regarding communication and participation in class. Way back then; most times in the class i stayed numb praying God swt not to be called or questioned by the teacher to avoid embarrast and see sarcasme in the eyes of some classmates. Really some moments were a real nightmare when i had to do public speaking. Regardless of all these hardships, i managed to end my studies and get my degree. after i finished schooling i thought it is over but it got more complicated when i had to be more interactive and sociable while searching in the job market and bypass all those interviews .. so on .. so forth.
