Text, in case you can't read my handwriting:
1: What's wrong, love?
2: it's all just so messed up!! There's a virus and a war and I'm in poverty and STILL the FEDS want my money! I don't even make $20k/year!! I just want to survive! I didn't ask to be born into this shit system! FUCK!
3: Shhhh... Hold on a sec...
4: You are smart, so I know you're only saying those things because you're afraid. It's okay to be afraid. Your choices define you, not your feelings.
5: I believe you'll make the right choices. I believe you'll make it out of this and be even stronger.

(I am okay, this was not even something that upset me very much, I just needed an example for the comic because I wanted to draw it!)
(Disclaimer: this is a technique taught to me by my therapist, but please don't utilize therapy tools you read online without consulting a professional to see if it's a good fit for your individual situation)
