[QUOTE=honeypig;6961534]I wanted to share this w/anyone here who might need it. I found this online right about the time that XAH was going to be moving out. As I posted in another thread today, I was terrified--terrified of being alone, terrified of not being able to handle my own life and responsibilities, terrified of heading into the unknown future w/o anyone beside me to lean on.
Terrified.
I printed it out and posted it on my closet door where I could read it as often as needed. And I survived--I'm here to tell the tale. Hope someone else finds the strength and grounding they need from it today too.
This Will Pass
Breathe. You’re going to be okay.
Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived.
Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience.
I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.
