What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

I noticed that I tend to think something along the lines of

Everything will be okay. And even if it's not, that's okay too. You'll get though this my love

The love bit was something I've been trying intentionally to instill. I've heard that positive self-talk can improve well being.

What do you think or say to yourself during those harder times?

'kill me"

I say that a lot. Usually when I'm alone and frustrated, tired, in physical or emotional pain...

I don't want to die. What I'm saying is "make whatever is causing the current situation to suck to stop". It tends to be cathartic, and occasionally leads me to thinking about how to fix the situation myself.

What if we killed you and then saved the few cells that survived longest and cloned you from them and kept doing that until you had skin tougher than diamonds and super strength and an unquenchable thirst for blood?

Sounds amazing!
