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
โPlease be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Routine saved me so same time up, same walk, same tea, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. No contact was the only thing that workde for me. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โHi, you. I was in the same place in 2022. I remember five years together like it was yesterday. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.โ
