Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I can easily empathize, it must be exhausting to be the owner of a stuttering voice. Your experience with it and the emotions that followed are pretty much what I would expect any person that is hindered by their stutter to feel after a while. It's not easy
It is easy to be embarrassed by it, though gh, but it's probably in your best interest to just frigging own it. For the time being, you will have to work with/around/through it, so, if you can muster the strenght, you could just as well own the stutter with pride. You might not like it, but it IS you currently. Not being embarrassed might make convo's slightly less intense.
Good luck coping with it all. Love from the internet!
