โTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place a year and a half ago. For me it was my husband still there. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. I remember asylum interview next month like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
โTo whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. It was asylum interview next month and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job this spring. You're not on your own.โ
โA note for the next person. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was a job far below my training. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ
