From people who came through it

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are two years ago. I remember startling at loud noises like it was yesterday. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Be gentle with yourself.”

  • β€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Back then it was avoiding the road where it happened. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy.”

  • β€œNot sure if this makes sense. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I always freeze. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”

  • β€œTo anyone just starting with PTSD: I'm two years in and some days still knock me flat. What I can say is that the shaking doesn't last forever, and you learn your triggers. I keep a note on my phone of what helps, like walking a different way home and calling my sister when the dates come around. It's not fixed, but it's not the same as day one either. Find one person who gets it. That's what I'm trying to do.”
