From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember when he cries now at adverts, which he never did, like it was yesterday. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. It was fatigue after twenty minutes of anything and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

    Jez R ยท been through stroke recovery
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everythig harder. Someone told me to do one small thing a day so some days it's just a shower. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

    Suresh B ยท been through stroke recovery
  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, in 2022 I was exactly where you are. The occupational therapist at home. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. Hang on.โ€
