I didn't mean to offend you..

You're doing great - in my books - for the pure fact that you seem to be so self destructive right now, but (to our knowledge, at least) you haven't acted on any impulses. I know you don't see it this way, but that IS good. You are still in control. You are STILL here speaking through this huge crisis with us. You're not bottling it all up. That in itself is extremely positive, don't you think?

Keep going! I KNOW you'll make it out the other side of this eventually!

We're here, we DO honestly care! We wouldn't be with you otherwise, would we?
