Dear Lindsey:

“Does my brain shut off during this situation with ‘S?’“- our ability to make good choices for ourselves shuts off when we feel too anxious and too desperate. That’s why we should take a break between feeling too anxious and carrying on an action. First calm down, then choose what to do next.

“I’m so worried about people noticing that I have mental health issues… I think that my issues with self worth and self esteem make them wonder if I have issues“- Other people are worried about you noticing that they have mental health issues; they too are wondering if you are noticing that they have issues with self-worth and self-esteem.

“I blocked him on all social media.  I deleted his number… ‘S’ will reach out at some point.  And when  he does I will not answer and then block the number“- this is your plan, it is a good plan for you, stick to it and you will be okay.
