really relate to this as someone who just woke up

One of the best lessons I ever learned is that no matter what anybody says, nor how loudly they insist you must, you rarely ever need to make a decision RIGHT this second.

Unless there's a bad dude running at you with a knife, take a few minutes to think. Or a few days. 🤷 It's never that urgent.

There's a huge difference between telling someone they're not alone, and that person actually feeling like they're not alone.

And right now they need more than words.

I wouldn't say anything, I would just listen.

They have good reasons for feeling that way. It's hard, but try to understand their perspective. Ask questions until you feel like "if that was me, maybe I would end it too."

But then, their problems will feel lighter because they aren't alone anymore.
