βHi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. For me it was the trial. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.β
βIf you're just starting this, the first thing I'd say is tell someone. I kept quiet for weeks and it made everything worse in my head. The trial is scary but you don't have to sit there alone. Get the police report early, ask about victim services even if it feels like a hassle. Some days you'll feel fine and then a door slams and you're back. That's not you failing. I still have bad nights but they're less. Start with small things, like a housing application or one yoga video. It's okay if that's all you can do that day.β
βIf 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, the helpline helped me plan how to leave and I didn't know they did that. Go slowly.β
