โHello friend. It feels like nobody believes what you're going through. You'll probably say you're fine some days because it's less trouble than explaining. That's alright. Try to find one person who'll listen, even if that takes a while. The stairs don't go anywhere, but you don't have to climb them by yourself. I'm still working this out too, but I'm around.โ
โNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Canceling plans for the third time, every single day. 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. You're not on your own.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. It was the side effects of the nerve tablets and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ
โI was right where you are a few years back. It was cancelling plans for the third time and I couldn't see past it. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ
