My sad/empty/lonely/angry/isolated/frustrated/tense/frightened feelings would improve if I could let myself tell someone and ask for a hand to hold.

My haziness would be improved if I wasn't so hard on myself.
Mine being hard on myself would improve if I tried to have the same patience with myself as I do with other people, doing it regularly.

My anxious feelings would improve if I stopped procrastinating and actually worked on what I need to do instead of doing nothing and worrying about it.

My anxious feelings would lessen if I could figure out what to write for my screenplay.

My guilty feeling would lessen if I emailed my mentor whom I've been avoiding.

My loneliness would lessen if I had a friend.

My loneliness would lessen if I grew some balls (metaphorically) and contacted people.

My frustration would be lessened if I actually dealt with things, or at least journalled, rather than keeping it all inside and ignoring it.

All the pressure would improve if I dealt with not being able to afford my situation and arranged something else. Finally.

my depressive feelings would improve if I only keep a open mind about the skills that they are teaching me in intensive outpatient therapy.

Take care, you.
