From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. A few years back, that was me. The CAMHS waiting list. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ€

  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing. Go slowly.โ€

  • โ€œWhen your teen is struggling, you will feel like you are failing. You are not. The lying and the vaping and the closed door, it is not about you. Keep the small routines. For me it was Sunday hiking. One hour. It doesn't fix anything but it keeps you standing. Ask for help even if you are the one who usually gives it. And when they come out of their room for dinner, just say the food is good. Don't make it a big thing. They will come back when they are ready. In the meantime, you have to keep yourself well.โ€
