The guide is here for you to work through at your own pace depending on how you are feeling and what you need. We suggest that you follow the flow of the guide, but if that feels too much right now- you can go straight to Seeking Help
In the first section, we want to help you understand what you might be feeling and why. We’ve included some stories from other survivors about what it felt like for them. In the second part, we give you information about how to start a journey of managing your symptoms and feeling better. You can use the links to get to the Seeking Help section at any time.
