Hi, I'm 20, and currently in my third year of university. Basically, I developed a stuttering problem in 9th grade, which led me to become withdrawn and antisocial. It didn't help too, that I had a history of friends abandoning me prior to that as well. I tried to socialize with people, which led some of them to laugh at my stutter or give me weird looks. These days, I don't really have any friends except for a few online, but they seem too busy to talk. And my lonliness...is tearing me apart because I love to socialize and walking around campus is painful because I notice people laughing and having fun w/o me. I can't confide in my parents for they'll assume it to be excuses, and the anti-depressants I took several years ago helped alot, but we really can't afford to keep paying for them. I thought about suicide before, but there's this inner strength i guess, that tells me that eventually, things will be okay. I don't know what to do now, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
