โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. The worst part was chasing losses. My kids say I'm back.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 writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Check what benefits you can get. I'd been missing out on loads. Go slowly.โ
โI was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was chasing losses. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. xโ
โI was in the same place this time last year. The worst part was betting apps on my phone at 3am. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
