โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I volunteered two mornings a week and it gave me a reason to get dressed. Go slowly. God willing it gets easier.โ
โHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. I remember graduated two years ago and nothing like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something.โ
โWhen I was in the thick of it, I thought everyone else had it figured out and I was the only one stuck. They don't. They're just better at pretending. Start with one small thing: a shower, a walk, one application. Not because it fixes everything, but because it stops the gap from growing. And ask for help with the money stuff early. The debt people are not scary, they're just people with a spreadsheet. You're not a failure for needing a while. You're just early in the story.โ
โYou're not the only one who feels behind. I promise. The gap on your CV, the waiting list, the friends who seem to have it all worked out, it's all just noise. I don't have the answers, but I do know that feeding the birds every morning helped me get out of bed. Find your birds. And keep applying, even when it feels pointless. Something will stick.โ
