โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are two years ago. Back then it was rehab twice already. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days and I learned that the hard way.โ
โFor anyone new to this: In 2023, that was me. Al-Anon on Wednesdays. That was my life. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
โI don't have answers, but I can tell you that you're not crazy for feeling everything at once. The line between helping and enabling is blurry, and you'll cross it sometimes. That doesn't make you a bad person. Find one person who gets it. For me, it was a mate from work who'd been through something similar. And keep something for yourself, even if it's just a run. You'll get through, but not in a straight line.โ
