Real talk: the psych handed me a three-page report and sent me on my way. Then I spiraled, Googling for three days straight.

If you're past that first-week chaos, what's one thing that made it feel less impossible? A resource, a conversation, a single realization that actually landed?

Not toxic positivity. Just real things that helped.
