Sometimes all the bad things happen at once and it's so awful and overwhelming. I really relate to that. Sometimes there's no one to step in and help a little when we most need it, and that can be really hard. You've done something to help yourself in the middle of this mess. You've reached out here. Can you force yourself to keep doing little things like that to make things better for yourself? I know it's so hard and sometimes the last thing you want to do, and it doesn't feel like it will help much, but those little things matter. You realise how bad not eating is for you. Do you think you can take care of yourself in that way today by stopping and having something to eat? Even if it's just a piece of fruit, or some juice, or a little snack. Something would be better than nothing.

I started therapy in the most horrific place. I was barely clinging onto life. I changed so much with the help of therapy, even though I never thought any of it was possible (because my whole life was one big disaster). Sometimes from the middle of it all, you can't see what's possible, or why it's even worth trying. It is worth trying. You are worth it. Hang in there!
