From people who came through it

  • “To whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was a diagnosis code that does not fit the forms. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”

  • “If you've just found this place, I was in the same place in 2022. It was a Facebook group in another time zone and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. One day at a time.”

  • “Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was flying to a specialist and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.”

  • “Reading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. For me it was a diagnosis code that does not fit the forms. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.”
