From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember losing interest in football like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ€

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. It was losing interest in football and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. xโ€

  • โ€œSorry 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€

  • โ€œIf 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 breathing thing where you breathe out longer than in actually works for me so go slowly.โ€
