So, this happened two hours ago. I called good 2 talk because I was feeling alone and extremely shitty, like, suicidal shitty. Like, it was so much pain, I felt I needed to surround myself with people to numb it. But I was choosing to resist that urge. 

I spoke to her for an hour, and she was like “instead of drinking, which is destructive, let’s think of something together that you can do instead.” 

And when I mentioned I watched anime, she was like “oh, would you perhaps be familiar with Naruto?” And I was like “you know it too?” “And she was like “Yes. There are 93 volumes.”

Then I said “but reading is tiring.” 
And she was like “I can understand that for people who have to do a lot of reading for assignments they may not want to read afterwards, but that’s why there are pictures. It’s light reading. 

I took a walk and ate European cookies. And now I’m doing a little better. 

TLDR: I called a counsellor feeling suicidal, and she cheered me up. And she knows Naruto.
