          TW: deep despair, ideation of self harm

           

          One time I was messaging with someone who was in a crisis and they said something like

           

          “I don’t have the will to live” and I said something like

          “when you hold your breath what happens next?”

          They said

          “I don’t know, you run out of oxygen?”

           

          And I said “whether you hold your breath a long time or a short time, when you hold your breath different feelings will occur…

           

          You may feel pressure in your throat

          You may feel tightness in your ribs

          You may feel burning in your lungs

          You may look around  to see if anyone is noticing

          You may feel restless

          You may feell confusion about what’s happening (even tho you chose it)

           

          These are all feelings and you may think aboit each or some of them too

           

          But what HAPPENS NEXT is always: you breathe again”

           

          ❤️ And i think that’s true in life, too

           

          Lots of things can cross your mind and be felt and thought and feelings and thoughts can cycle with one anotherr almost perpetually

           

          But what HAPPENS NEXT IS your body

           

          does what it needs to in order to keep you going

           

          Sometimes, your body needs you to follow its cue,

          Instead of asking IT to follow your feelings or your thoughts

           

          Be well, my friends

          ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

           

          You are loved 🥰

          Take a breath

          … And another
