From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my degree not recognised like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.โ€

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was a few years back. The first winter. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does. Sending love.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and try not to make big decisions on the worst days, I learned that the hard way and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œAbout three years ago, that was me. Visa renewal stress. That was my life. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
