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
โI 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
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
โI 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
