From people who came through it
“Hi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Back then it was mugged walking home. These days I mostly feel like me. Hang on.”
Diego Oi · been through victims of crime“Hi, 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.”
tune_lost90 · 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.”
sparkbear60 · 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.”
