I keep telling them but they just won’t leave me alone. Ugly faces attack my analogue visual audio. Assaulting my precious senses to POINT BREAK and Keanu is not around to save me.
Overwhelmed to shit!
So I called the Crisis Hotline and they helped me with a plan.
Distract the Senses
Taste
the sweetness of hot chocolate on my tongue.
Watch
a stupid funny movie like Dude, Where’s My Car? To feel less frightened and stressed
Move
swim, bike, or walk? I think bike!
Listen
to soothing music like smooth jazz by Kenny G.
Call
again in one hour for more support if I still feel like I’m drowning.
