โHello from the other side of it. In 2023, that was me. For me it was the thoughts come at night mostly. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. xโ
โIf you're just starting with these thoughts, I won't say it gets easy. It doesn't. But telling someone, even one person, can take some weight off. For me it was my sister. I also keep a list of small things: my dog, a sunset, a cup of tea. When it's bad, I pick one and do it. That's all I've got. And if you can, see a therapist. Mine knows what to do when I don't.โ
โYou are not alone. I know that sounds like a line but it's true. I'm here, typing this, and I've been where you are. The thoughts don't disappear overnight. They get quieter. You find reasons to stay, even small ones. My dog is one of mine. Your reason might be different. Find it and hold on. Tell someone. A therapist, a friend, a stranger on here. The pretending is exhausting. You don't have to pretend with everyone.โ
โA note for the next person. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part: my therapist knows. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ
