From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was where you are nearly four years ago. The worst part: a nurse who knows his favourite dinosaur. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. A nurse who knows his favourite dinosaur. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I started saying no to things and it made a big difference so and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
