โPlease be gentel with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. What helped me was writing everything down before appointments, otherwise I forget it all. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โHi, you. A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. It was the bottle bank shame and I couldn't see past it. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. Day 43, every single day. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI was where you are eighteen months ago. I remember a spnosor I text like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
