From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I pace everything now so if I do a lot Monday, tuesday is a rest day, no arguing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was numb feet. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back. xโ€

  • โ€œDear stranger, i was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was family telling me what I can eat at weddings. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Praying for you.โ€
