Complete Randomness

Breathe. It's okay. You're going to be okay. Just breathe. Breathe, and remind yourself of all the times in the past you felt this scared. All of the times you felt this anxious and this overwhelmed. All of the times you felt this level of pain. And remind yourself how each time, you made it through. Life has thrown so much at you, and despite how difficult things have been, you've survived. Breathe and trust that you can survive this too. Trust that this struggle is part of the process. And trust that as long as you don't give up and keep pushing forward, no matter how hopeless things seem, you will make it.

You like to think you have control, but you don't. You can't control the darkness of your thinking. Or the poison in your self-destructive behaviours. Or the hatred inside you, the loathing for yourself, that eats and eats away at your heart until there's nothing left... You were never in control. That sadness inside you is what guides you, drags you down and keeps you there... Control is an illusion.

Them: Hey, how are you feeling?
