โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. It was pretending at work then collapsing at home and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI remember how dark it felt, like I was the only person in the world who couldn't get out of bed. But I wasn't. And you aren't either. Start with one tiny thing. Wash one dish. Open a window. Call someone, even if you don't know what to say. It's not about being fixed overnight. It's about not being alone in it. I still have bad days, but I have more good ones now. You will too.โ
โNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Sleeping 12 hours and still tired, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. One day at a time.โ
โSorry if this is a lot. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. The breathing thing where you breathe out longer than in actually works for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
