βHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are about three years ago. For me it was section 21 notice. Yesterday I booked a holiday. xβ
βIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was landlord selling. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back.β
βIf you are just starting this, I am sorry. The first thing I want to say is that it is not your fault. The shame is heavy, but you don't have to carry it alone. Get advice early, even if it feels embarrassing. And try to hold on to the small things, like a cup of tea with a friend or a game of chess. It doesn't fix the big problem, but it helps you keep going.β
βIf you're facing eviction, get on the city list early. They take forever. Keep your phone charged. Ask for help. I swim to stay sane. Find your swim. It's scary but you can get through. I'm still here.β
