"I've learned a great deal about you in the past quarter of an hour, he said. 'You're afraid. Less because of any actual concrete threats than because you have thoughts which make you horribly afraid. For as long as you do that, you can't feel anything else. And then because you've lost that ability to feel, you lurch into a depression, this makes you more afraid, and most of all you're afraid of fear itself. Unfortunately, when you're in this frame of mind, every one of your thoughts grows to monstrous size, so you make the mistake of imagining that there's some substance to what you're thinking and that's to blame for your condition. So you try to get rid of them at the level of substance, and you end up doing entirely the opposite. They only look like monsters, but the more seriously you take them, the bigger and stronger they grow."

"LIMIT"
PS/ saw this and thought of her
PSS/ she made it to uni! unsure if this is good or bad. She seems to enjoy independence and loves her new town, but her sudden silence makes me think she is getting overwhelmed.
