From people who came through it

  • โ€œSorry, this got long. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œIn 2023, that was me. Respite once a month. That was my life. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œNot sure if this makes sense. I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I had to stop googling. It made everything worse.โ€

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was planning for when we are gone. I picked up the guitar again. Bit by bit it comes back. xโ€
