From people who came through it
“Hi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The trial, every single day. This year I did a 5k, slowly.”
Gary from Derby F · been through victims of crime“If 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.”
karthiktide · been through victims of crime“If 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.”
Angel from General Santos · been through victims of crime“To 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.”
