From people who came through it

  • โ€œDear stranger, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A bad review that went viral, and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was where you are eighteen months ago. For me, the business loan is personal now. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. The business loan is personal now. That was my life. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ€

    Gareth Y. ยท been through business struggles and failure
  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Mine was my savings gone. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ€
