"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"

"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽‍♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"

"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"

"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
