โDear stranger, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. Five years together, every single day. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. It was moving out of our flat and I couldn't see past it. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
โIf you are at the start of this, one thing. You do not have to answer anyone today. Sit with the lamp off, put the phone face down, that is allowed. The first thing that came back for me was small, a cake for a neighbour, a walk to the corner, saying good morning to a guard. Not big. When someone calls and the phone feels like a brick, let it ring, then maybe message them one word. That word is enough for now. It gets less heavy. Not all at once, but it does.โ
โHello from the other side of it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. For me it was the playlist I can not listen to. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.โ
