โI know it feels like the whole world is against you right now. It did for me. But please, tell someone. A teacher, a parent, a doctor. Don't keep it inside like I did. It eats at you. And try to find one person who makes you feel safe, even if it's just online. You are not the things they say about you. I promise.โ
โHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Dreading Mondays, every single day. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy.โ
โTo whoever needs this: Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. I remember when my mum says ignore them, like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ
โI thought the worst part was the chat itself. It was the Mondays, that heavy feeling on a Sunday night. If that is where you are, please tell one person, a brother, a mum, a friend, even the GP. It sounds soft but it is the only thing that got things moving for me. It did not fix it in a week. It just stopped me carrying it by myself.โ
