โFor anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. It was crypto investment that vanished and I couldn't see past it. This morning I sang in the car. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โI've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Mine was crypto investment that vanished. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.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
โA note for the next person. I was where you are eighteen months ago. I remember a romance scam, 30k gone like it was yesterday. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once.โ
