From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Joining a class gave me somewhere to be every Thursday. It helped. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. God willing it gets easier.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember when the only voice some days is the radio, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was can not drive anymore. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason so it doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong and try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way.โ€
