Every night around 1am I replay conversations from years ago. I've tried the phone-out-of-the-room thing. What actually worked for you long term, not just for a week?
Day 6. Evenings are the hardest part and I've already talked my way into two near-misses. Not looking for lectures, just what genuinely helped in the moment.
I wake up with my chest tight before the alarm even goes off. The job itself is fine once I'm there. It's the 90 minutes before that are wrecking me.
My dad died last March. Everyone else has moved on and I'm supposed to be fine now. I'm not fine, but I'm also not the mess I was. I don't know what this stage is called.
It's been about seven months where nothing really lands. I still work, I still text people back, but the part of me that used to look forward to things is just gone. I'm not looking for a cure — I'd like to hear from people who came out the other side and what the first sign of life felt like.
I used to be the person who did everything. Now getting through a workday takes everything I have and my evenings are just the sofa. I don't feel sad exactly, just empty.

We ended things a month ago and it was mutual, which somehow makes it worse. I keep reaching for my phone to tell her things. People say time — I want to know what you actually did with that time.
Every phone call ends with me feeling like I'm twelve. I love them. I just can't keep doing this weekly.
Moved eight months ago for work. I have colleagues I like and nobody I could call on a Sunday. The advice online is all 'join a club' and I have, twice.
I have the thought, I rehearse it, the moment passes, someone else says it and everyone nods. Four years of this.
Cleared £14k last year. I still check my balance six times a day and flinch at a £4 coffee. The debt's gone, the fear isn't.
