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€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€œDear stranger, this time last year I was exactly where you are. It was vaping and lying and I couldn't see past it. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.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€
