Written to myself when my friend was experiencing a break up
When I feel alone…Ellie can comfort
When I feel like self isolating…I know sometimes it makes me sad
When I feel like my mind is racing…I have Marc and CariAnn
When my heart is breaking…first I try to write
When I feel like I’m not hungry…ask myself if I have eaten today
When I feel like I need a break…take a deep breath
When I feel exhausted…take a nap
When I feel overwhelmed…I have coping exercises
When I am feeling crushed…step back to gain my bearings
When I feel I am alone…remember I have family and friends
When I feel down…try to make the best decision for the moment
When I feel isolated…ask my parents if they want to hang out
When I feel like I am a bad friend…remember good friends can have bad days
When I feel like my life is too messy…don’t clean it up before asking for help
When I feel like my world is falling apart…remember things that make me happy
When I feel hurt…try to remember the reason, and try to forgive
