Hey kid,
I know the past days have been soul-sucking. I figured it would be a
good time for a comfort email.
Remember that you are stronger than you think. I've noticed that these
things come in waves, which means that sooner or later you will start
to feel well again. School is necessary, though it may seem like a
waste of time. You've chosen to study and you definitely shouldn't
give up. If anything, you should take whatever energy you have left,
triple it, and throw yourself into your studies. Because you like to.
Because you want to. Take what you've got and make it work for you. I
believe you can.
Work is another monster. You have to pay rent, you have to buy food,
you have to support yourself. Try to stop worrying about everyone else
and how they make you feel, and focus on doing what needs to be done.
Then move on. If you need to find something else, let's make it
happen. And use your planner! Seeing your days written out will make
them less intimidating.
I understand how you feel completely and I'd like to help.
This is a small blip in a long timeline.
I miss you. See you tonight.
- Me
