hey you!
Has it been 7-10 business days since you've brushed your teeth? Are you laying in period blood and Popchips? Three things: a) I fucking feel you, b) This won't last forever, and c) seeking help is not shameful! Here are some resources to help in a time of need. As always, if you or anyone you know is in immediate danger, call 911, okay? Kay.
