Getting comfort

It was the next day and it was time to get ready for the day. As she was scrolling through her phone she got a text message from a friend she made at school a while back. It read 'everything going ok?' People would normally say yes even if that's not the case. As they figure that it's just small talk, but with this friend she really meant it. So the girl replied 'not really, had a bad dream, depression is hitting me hard again. I hate myself' the other responded by saying 'don't say that. The fact that your talking to be means you have resilience. Just because you feel messed up doesn't mean you are weird. It just means you're human. 'Thanks talk to you later.'

'You too'

Throughout the day her friend was worried about her so she kept sending words of encouragement. This made the girls day a lot better. Sometimes all you need is someone to be by your side on days that are gloomy. She started studying criminology for fun that day. For her It was really intriguing, all the facts and theories. Some of them were so ridiculous to her though. In her opinion people are not born a criminal which is a theory. After she was done studying she finally was able to give her cat her Christmas treats. She gave them to miku late because she was sick on Christmas.

Miku very much enjoyed the treats and meowed for more. It was the end of the day and she was getting in a lower mood. Why you ask? Because on days like this it's when she has the most struggles during the night. Something inside her head make the night bad and then she's no longer in the same mood as she was during the day. She turns and sighs in her bed as she can't get to sleep. Then she started going into deep thought. 'What did I even do today? Was I even productive? Was I lazy? Haaa I hate myself.' Thoughts like this go around in her head like a tornado.

She tosses and turns but she just can't sleep. She goes to find her mom to ask for help but finds her sleeping and decided to instead just go back to her room. She starts texting the friend from earlier and says 'you up?' Hr friend reply's saying yes and the girl starts by saying 'can't sleep a little help please!' Her friend reply's by saying 'do you know what's keeping you up?'

'No'

'Well is there anything weighing on your mind?'

'Well I guess I kind of feel worthless. Like I didn't do anything important today'

'Here's a quote I made up just for you! Even on days when you feel like you did nothing if all you did was hold yourself together you did well. I'm proud of you'

'Haaa you always know how to make me feel better, thanks!'

After their conversation they texted each other bye and ended the conversation. She was feeling validated and heard. So she was able to comfortably sleep. She didn't have any nightmares or even a dream. Which was exactly what she needed.
