From people who came through it

  • 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€œTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. I remember the day centre closed like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart.โ€

  • 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€
