โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are about three years ago. It was cannot name it but I am not ok and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โI was where you are this time last year. It was a year where everything happened at once and I couldn't see past it. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ
โIf you are just starting this, I want to say: you don't have to name it perfectly. I couldn't. But you can say 'I am not ok' and that is enough. Find one person, even if it's on here, and say it. The phone calls can wait.โ
โTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember lost my way somehow like it was yesterday. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.โ
