I’m gonna give you some advice.  You may not like it, because I sure didn’t like hearing it when I was told this.

Okay ready?  Here it goes.  

You gotta go talk to someone else.  Be it a therapist, or a parent, or a friend, you gotta get some help working through what you’re going through.  If you’re anything like me, you’re gonna be really reluctant to because frankly you don’t know what you’re going through or why you’re going through it, and deep down you’re scared.

It’s gonna be rough.  I’ll be honest, some days you’re gonna wanna like just curl up in a ball and let all of the stuff you’re feeling take over you.  But you can’t let yourself give up.  

You’re never really ever alone, and there’s always gonna be at least one person rooting for you.  And if it seems like there isn’t, then you gotta root for yourself and make as much noise as possible to compensate.  

Don’t let yourself get to where I was, okay?  Just find someone nearby and let them know how you feel.  If you ever wanna come off anon and talk, I won’t turn you away.
