โI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. I stopped drinking for a month and my anxiety dropped a lot.โ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. It was working from home every day and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I tell myself it is a wave and it will pass. It always has so far. And talk to someone, even if it is just in here.โ
โI was in the same place a year and a half ago. I remember when the group chat that went quiet, like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.โ
