From people who came through it
“In 2023, that was me. Anniversary dates. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. x”
Valentina from Cali F · been through trauma and ptsd“Please be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Therapy took a few goes to find the right person and don't give up after one so and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Sharmin E. · been through trauma and ptsd“For 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.”
dust.tea68 · been through trauma and ptsd“Not 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.”
