    Hey @eylah , it sounds like parts of yesterday were really, really tough. Would it feel helpful to talk about it? We're here for you, and are here to listen if that would feel helpful <3

    It feels really powerful that despite such a hard day you we're able to make dinner for yourself and also to resist that urge to self-harm. That can feel extreamly hard when we're overwhelmed or struggling, so I really want to acknowledge the intention and efforts that might have taken to keep yourself safe and take care of yourself intsead by doing your hair and eating something nice. What a beautiful way you give your body the care it deserves <3

    Sending you the biggest hug, @eylah. It can be so hard encouraging ourselves to do something even when it is scary, and you know what, that's the definition of 'bravery'! - to 'feel the fear, and do it anyway' <3 I feel similiarly sometimes attending social gatherings. Let us know how the trip goes, and we're here when you get back too :3
