“I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I made a safety plan with my support worker and keep it in my bag. Keep going, even slowly.”
“No sé qué necesitas oír, pero esto es lo que a mí me habría ayudado al principio: no tienes que contárselo a todo el mundo. Yo tardé años en decírselo a mis padres y no pasa nada. Busca un abogado que te hable claro y sin prisa, aunque te dé miedo la respuesta. Y si un día no puedes más, no significa que no vayas a poder mañana. Un pie delante del otro. A mí me funciona escribir. A lo mejor a ti no. Prueba cosas. No estás sola, aunque a las tres de la mañana lo parezca.”
“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I keep my documents in a bag at a friend's house, just in case. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are in 2023. It was it happened at a party at uni and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. Be gentle with yourself.”
