I'm so sorry you feel this way.

I care whether you take care of yourself or not.

I can't completely change what your experience tonight will be like. I CAN offer one change to your expectations for this evening. I'll be thinking of you and giving you a strong, hopeful hug through the internet. It's not the same thing as a real hug, but it's a significant difference from being completely alone just like every other night.

Just one small change in your expectation can make a big difference in your experience. And the next time you check in, we can come up with another small change, so that your hope will snowball and become stronger.

I'm here if you ever want to talk.
