If you need someone right now
From people who came through it
โIf 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.โ
Angel from General Santos ยท been through victims of crimeโHi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The trial, every single day. This year I did a 5k, slowly.โ
Gary from Derby F ยท been through victims of crimeโTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was the trial. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
sparkbear60 ยท been through victims of crimeโFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. Mine was my car broken into three times. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
