โIf you've just found this place, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Crypto investment that vanished, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. One day at a time.โ
โIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. A call from the bank that was not the bank. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
โTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place this time last year. It was a romance scam, 30k gone and I couldn't see past it. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and someone told me to do one small thing a day and some days it's just a shower. Go slowly.โ
