โNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. It was methadone clinic every morning and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ
โIf 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
