Evenings and weekends

From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was right where you are about three years ago. I remember pain clinic waiting list of nine months like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Sending love.โ€

  • โ€œA 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€

  • โ€œNearly 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€

  • โ€œHello 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€
