From people who came through it

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. A typhoon and the roof, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. It was living with my in laws and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Telling one person the full tuth helped me more than anything. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

    Jeremy D ยท been through disaster survivors
  • โ€œAbout three years ago, that was me. Wildfire smoke and evacuating. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
