โDear stranger, i was where you are in 2022. For me it was forgetting bills and the late fees. This week I went back to my evening class. Praying for you.โ
โYou're not lazy. I believed that for years. School made me think it. But it's not true. The waiting lists are real. So is the frustration. Get someone to help you fight for the assessment. And ignore the comments about your body. People say things without thinking. It's not about you. It's about them. Find the small things that calm you. For me it's a cup of tea before the kids wake up. That's enough for now.โ
โA note for the next person. Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was an assessment waiting list of three years. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Try not to make big decisions on the wosrt days. I learned that the hard way. Keep going, even slowly.โ
