For those of you who feel or have felt like the entire world is crumbling down around you, you're not alone.

I am not suggesting therapy, or some rehab group. (Though, if you're open to it, let me know, I'll help you find someone.) I am saying that, if you feel alone... broken, or just... flat out distraught and lost, then I know what it's like...

If you're losing everything, and gaining things you don't want, if change is progressing too fast, or things are neutral and just not right... and you think; "it'll never get better" then it won't. You have to focus on the positive to make anything change. Positive thoughts are the key, whether you believe it or not.

Herbs, incense, and candles help. A good way to get herbs if you can't, is in tea. chá is a good anti-anxiety, and it builds up your immune system. Make sure when you drink it, to drink caffeine-free tea, though.

I'm sure there're nights where you want to take a few pills, drink a little, and crash. But if you keep ignoring problems like that, they build up until you have a pile so high you can't see anymore and you crash. You can't fix problems sometimes, but you can help them. Don't ignore them, but maybe don't take action either. You can always rant to a friend, write in a journal... etc. I'm sure if you need, a school counselor will be there to support you. There are plenty mais options than most people notice.

If you need a friend or someone to talk to, caixa de entrada me. I'll listen; I'm not a cop, or your mom. Just a friend. There's nothing you have to hide from me.
