โPlease 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
โFor 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
โI 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
โAbout 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
