From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Therapy took a few goes to find the right person. Don't give up after one. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œIf 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€

  • โ€œI was in the same place nearly four years ago. It was telling my sister was the hardest thing and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again.โ€

  • โ€œHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. I keep going for my dog. 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€
