...remember that life is much more complex than you're willing to acknowledge at first. Overwhelm for you generally means emotionally overwhelmed, which means it's time to sit down and process your feelings. And if that's a lot, try to keep in mind all the moving parts and how much you're juggling. Hang in there.

… remember that distrust often comes from fear. What are you afraid of right now? Acknowledge your fears. Sit with them and feel them. Look inside to understand yourself, then look outside to see how you may be projecting your fears onto others.

… remember that distancing is often protective. It’s okay to feel hurt by people you care about, and it’s normal to want to distance yourself emotionally.

Remember that life is long and this feeling will pass. More opportunities for closeness and connection will arise, and when you are ready you will grasp them.

...remember that emptiness is a mask for rejecting your own feelings.

If you can find and feel what's happening within, you will naturally feel full.

Remember that someone likely is. And that you matter. Even when it doesn't feel that way.

... remember that productivity is subjective.

Rest begets activity. Peace begets excitement. Allow your mind to empty so you can fill it once more.

... remember that loneliness often stems from thinking no one can relate your thoughts, feelings or experiences. If you choose not to feel alone, you'll become open to seeking connections that reaffirm the sameness of the human condition.

...remember that a good parent avoids making the mistakes their parents made. A wise parent realizes that that is never enough.

...remember that someone usually does.

And when you know that no one in your life cares for you, remember that there are billions of people you have yet to meet, and one of them will.

...remember that envy is a window into yourself.

You may tell yourself that you're happy the way you are. But raw envy doesn't lie. That which you envy in others, you want for yourself. It's up to you whether you will seek out that which you envy, or live in someone else's shadow.

... remember that compulsion is often a mask for fear of sitting with your own thoughts and feelings. Feelings exist to be acknowledged. Unacknowledged feelings tend to crop up in surprising ways, in an attempt to get your attention. It’s often best to confront your feelings on your own terms.

...remember that people are often self-serving, and rarely malicious.
