“Dear stranger, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. I remember sleep as my early warning sign like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.”
“Se estás a começar, o meu conselho é: não tentes resolver tudo de uma vez. A dívida e a doença juntas são muita coisa. Fala com alguém de confiança, nem que seja só para não carregares tudo sozinho. E não tenhas vergonha de pedir ajuda especializada. O médico de família não chega. Eu ainda estou a aprender, mas já percebi que esconder a cabeça na areia só piora.”
“Not sure if this helps, but please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I always freeze. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
“To whoever needs this: I was where you are nearly four years ago. It was mood charts on my phone and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.”
