โI am not going to tell you it will be fine. It might not be fine for a while. But you can start with one small thing. For me, it was taking a photo of the hob. It did not fix anything, but it gave me a way to leave the house. Find your photo. And please, tell someone. I know it feels like a lot, but it is less when you say it out loud.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The worst part was hand washing till my skin cracks. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back.โ
โI've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was pure O and nobody understanding. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. 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 so I started saying no to things and it made a big difference. Go slowly.โ
