โHello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was lost my way somehow. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are two years ago. I remember a year where everything happened at once like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.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
