To anyone holding on by a thread

If you’re also hanging on by a thread, as I am right now, I just want to let you know that I’m glad you’re still holding on. I’m really sorry you are struggling and things feel out of control right now, but I hope things improve for us. But until then, we’ll keep hanging on, okay? Yes, we must go on, so we will keep going together.

You don’t have to do this alone, and you deserve help, so don’t be afraid to ask for it. You don’t have to carry this burden in silence. Talking to someone can help you hold on a little more.

What matters most, when you feel hopeless, is that you are still holding on, even if it feels like you are barely doing it, you still are trying, and you should be proud of yourself. You are doing your best in the circumstances you’re facing and I’m proud of you for still hanging in there. I hope whatever is troubling you eases soon and that you remember to give yourself credit for how brave you’re being even when things are so hard.
