Stripped: Drowning
When you’ve lost everything and all the initial feelings wear off and thoughts are processed, it can feel like your drowning. How did you end up sinking so deep? How are you going to get back to the surface for a breath of air? Are you going to get back at all, or is this how and where it ends? Is everything over?
No matter how far it feels, this is a fight for your life. You have to push, you have to fight! One more kick, one more stroke! Keep going! You won’t be defeated, not this time. You can make it. You’re good enough to do this. Don’t worry about what comes next, don’t stress over what came before, just make it up to catch your breath. You’ll be ok. Just don’t... give.. up...
