From people who came through it

  • โ€œDear stranger, i was in the same place this time last year. Back then it was the CAMHS waiting list. I'm volunteering here now. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œThis time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part was a friend group I do not trust. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're just starting with a teen who won't leave their room, I won't pretend I have the answers. For me, the waiting list felt endless and the exclusion letters kept coming. What helped was finding one other parent who got it. I still drive nights and Nathan still games, but we had a chat last week about nothing much. That was something.โ€
