โI was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was crying in the car park before going in. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ
โI was where you are in 2022. A spreadsheet of medicines and times on the fridge, every single day. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Arguing with the insurance about a scan. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โHi, you. I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was doing all the school runs alone now. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
