When life gets overwhelming and threatens to suffocate you, you have to just be still. Lay on the bed and concentrate in getting air in and out of your lungs. It is highly likely that during this process that your heart will bleed saltwater tears from your eyes. That is ok. It's the only way for the hurt to not hurt so bad. Crying is ok. Just remember to breathe while it's happening.
In and out. In and out.
If you're lucky unconsciousness will claim you and you will drift into a dreamless sleep. In and out. In and out. Don't move. Don't think. Don't talk. Just breathe. Let the oxygen push the heaviness from your chest. Let it flow through your heart and down your cheeks.
Be still. Just breathe. Cry.
In and out. In and out.
Breathe.
