โNot that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember my husband back at work after two weeks like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI'm not going to tell you it gets better straight away, because that would be a lie. What I will say is that the thoughts don't have to run the whole day. I lied on that questionnaire too, and I wish I hadn't. The health visitor is not there to judge you. Tell one person the truth, even just one. And delete the symptom checker app. It is not your friend at 2am.โ
โIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Back then it was a C-section recovery. I've started painting again. Hang on.โ
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I alwys freeze. Keep going, even slowly.โ
