I don't want to go to sleep tonight because I don't want to wake up to another day where this is our reality. I need to wake up for work in 5 hours and 40 minutes but I'd rather stay awake. I just want our old life back. Everything feels so broken. Sorry for the depressing post, just needed to get this out there. Feeling so sad.

JE

I am on a nightshift so fire away

Why are you feeling like this ? How long have you been feeling like this ?

Are you on early stages ? Please try and get some sleep x

Sending you hugs JE.

I hope you managed to get some rest in the end. I understand the feeling of wanting your old life back, it is so hard to accept the changes all this will bring and what you may have lost. And never feel you have to apologise for the way you are feeling.

Have you got any friends or family you can turn to that are nearby to give you a hand? But do keep posting on here, as hopefully that can provide you some solice in that you are not alone or even just help to get your feelings and thoughts down?

I don't often write on here myself but I do find comfort in hearing others stories / advice for everything.

JE,



I promise you it does get better. It really does. It's a different life but the panic, fear and uncertainty does ease as cheesy as it sounds, time is a great healer.



I am a year post court date and 2.5 years since the knock. I'm unsure of your story but I didn't for one minute think I'd be where I am now mentally back in September 2018. Go get help, even if its a call to the helpline, they were my saviour. Speak to us, there's no judgement and we really know where you are coming from. Visit your GP if you feel you need some help especially with your sleeping. Most of all please know that in time you WILL feel better than you do now.

All the love x
