one hour, one minute, if you have to. keep breathing and talk yourself through things. i talk to my cats just to get the thoughts out of my mind.

what are you doing to be good to yourself? i find that just sitting outside for a bit always helps, take a book or laptop to the porch (given this is an option) and just be outside. listen to the birds. smell the spring. feel the air and sun on your skin.

it must be hard that you're sister is in the place she's in and unable to give you the support she needs, is there any way you can help her out? cook a few meals or clean her house? i hate cleaning, but it's something for me to focus on rather that everything bouncing around in my brain.

i hope things slow down for you soon and remember that we are always here to listen.
