Just filed today and my hands are still shaking

Sending you so much strength. The first few weeks are the hardest and they do pass. It is okay to feel relieved. Relief is not the same as not caring.

That physical response is very common. It's adrenaline discharging after a long stretch of held tension. Warm shower, early night, gentle food. Give your nervous system a day to believe you.

you did the scariest part today. seriously. everything after this is smaller.

Filing day is often the hardest single step of the whole process. Legally speaking, much of what follows is paperwork and waiting, so let yourself exhale tonight. General info, not advice on your specific file.

the shaking is your body catching up with a decision your gut made ages ago. mine lasted a couple of days and then i slept properly for the first time in years.
