I’m having a really, really hard time right now. I feel like I don’t have anyone to turn to or lean on. I can’t get into why right now— it’s too much and too specific to post here.
Can anyone give me a pep talk to get through today? I don’t want to get out of bed or face any of it. |

You’ve got this!!! A day is only 24 hours max.
Deep breaths. Before you know it you’ll be in bed tonight and the day will be behind you. I’m rooting for you! |

Good luck OP! I hope the day holds surprising moments of kindness for you.
You are in good company feeling like you have no one to lean on or turn to. You are not alone. I hope you see others and are seen today. I am rooting for you too! |

| OP here. Thank you, I needed that. Showered and dressed now, even made my kid's lunch and put on some music for morale. |

| You’re doing great! Just take things one hour at a time. Can you do something nice for yourself today? |

| You can do this, OP. Sometimes it honestly feels like you’re the only one- I promise you you aren’t alone. And I’m glad you’re here, I hope you have something beautiful happen today. I believe in you. |

Yes. I have to do something horrible this morning but then I will try to do something kind for myself when it's over. |

You’re doing great. Each day is just a collection of hours, and each hour is just a collection of small tasks and steps.
Feelings are just that - they’re feelings. They may be intense and overwhelming, but feelings themselves won’t hurt you. Stay grounded in the small steps you’re making, and give yourself credit for each one. Things have been better for you, I’m certain, and they will be better again. You’re not alone. |

One day at a time, OP.
You are strong enough to make it through what you are dealing with for this one day. |

Yes, definitely music
Walk outside Positive affirmations (everything will be alright) Even if you are a non believer (God is with me, God please protect me) Look at happy images / photographs Take deep breaths |

Everything is going to be ok OP. Take it one day at a time, one hour at a time. You can deal with whatever you are faced with today. We all support you today.
Hugs. |
