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
