i think when i used to spiral about things i’d end up spiraling even more bc i’d sit there and talk to/about myself negatively and think of worst case scenarios WHILE spiraling , but these days ive sorta trained myself to almost cradle myself like a baby, allow myself to have whatever emotions im having and then take whatever steps it is i need to take to truly take care of myself (including setting boundaries with those who are hurting me or contributing to the spiral). i ALWAYS got myself and imma love her (me) forever!!!!!
