Hope in action — share milestones, setbacks, and the things that helped you keep going.
I almost stopped going after the first handful of sessions because it felt like I was just talking into the void. My therapist asked me to give it until session eight. Somewhere around there things started to click. Just leaving this here for anyone on the edge of giving up too early.
Half a year ago I couldn't have imagined feeling like myself again. It's still not easy, but this week I picked up my old camera and spent an afternoon out by the water. I forgot how much I loved it. If you're early in this and it feels flat and pointless — it can come back.
A year ago today I made the call I had been putting off for ages. It was not a straight line and some weeks were really hard, but I am still here and things are better. If you are on the fence about reaching out — this is your sign.
