she is wonderful, really. i don't know how or why she puts up with my craziness, but she does. maybe i should just accept that and be grateful instead of questioning it all the time.
as far as how she helps me out. if i'm really down, she usually asks me bizarre, hilarious questions that don't really have answers to cheer me up. or she'll tell me to remind myself of the time we spent doing something (since we hang out quite a bit).
i try to do some of those things on my own, but usually can't initiate them without a prompt from her. maybe i like feeling like i have someone in my corner finally. i don't know. but yeah, i'm trying to get better coping skills because i don't really have any now. thanks for the tip!
