From people who came through it

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Back then it was cooking for one. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was cooking for one. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life so but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it's bad so go slowly.โ€

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was two years ago. Back then it was cooking for one. This morning I sang in the car. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€
