From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. For me it was my mum letting me back in the house. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

  • โ€œDear stranger, in 2022 I was exactly where you are. Back then it was rehab in the summer. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.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 wriing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Getting outside first thing, even for five minutes, helps my mood a lot. Go slowly.โ€
