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
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
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
