Dear FutureMe,
i haven't written in a while. i'm starting counselling tomorrow and i'm kinda terrified, i really hope it goes well and my counsellor is nice. does it help?
did u send that message to meghan about panphobia, did it help?
have u come out to luca yet? what about everyone else?
martha sent me some earrings, i'm so happy about that.
how's college?
remember to keep going
things for when u feel sad or anxious or stuck:
- make snacks the way ur parents would; as in put them on a plate/bowl
- watch ur comfort videos
- curl up in a ball
- let yourself cry
- have a nap
- have a shower
- go rollerskating
- text/call ur friends
does lucy get better?
do i get closer and start opening up more with my friends? appreciate them
have you made any new friends
have you found out whether you might have adhd and/or anxiety?
it's not always shit
love
your past self
