Dear Anita,

Thank you very much for looking up quotes for me. Really means a lot. But, I don’t know why reading quotes has become an anxiety trigger causing intrusive thoughts/flashbacks just as it did now. I used to follow a lot of quotes and thoughts pages on social media too but ever since the intrusive thoughts situation has arose, reading any type of quote, especially related to things like hope, resilience etc. gives me terrible anxiety and often lead me to a spiral of flashbacks. Please do not take it as a complaint, it is really a very kind thing, but this is something I thought I should share with you.

The quote about mental rushing: the moment I read it felt personal. It felt so true. I do not know in what ways it is true, but it felt very relatable. Even beyond this, I am feeling lonely and miserable these days.

Thanks,

Kshitij
