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
โHi, you. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Intrusive thoughts that horrify me, every single day. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Intrusive thoughts that horrify me, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ
