From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. A few years back, that was me. Back then, the only voice some days is the radio. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

  • โ€œI was where you are a year and a half ago. The day centre closed, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and ask for a double appointment if you can, it changed things for me so and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.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€
