This letter has been written for you by someone in the world that cares.
Hi there,
I know things feel heavy right now, but you matter.
Take a deep breath, hold on, and remember: just taking it one step at a time can carry you through today.
It can really help to break things up into tiny steps. If you're struggling to get up or go outside, what's the first step you'd need to take to go out? Maybe it's opening the curtains and putting some shoes on. Then what's the first step you need to take to do that? Tiny little steps, big wins.
I once was where you are now so I know that it is possible to feel joy again. Thank you for being a part of this world.
John
