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
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. In 2023, that was me. I remember a safety plan on my phone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
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
