It was perfect. And I think like it'll be different for each person if that's something they struggle with. Some people may need more in-depth help. But it was enough for me to know that like she was she kept telling me she always would tell me anything I was struggling with. She's like, you're going to be OK.

But then at the same time, she would always make me feel like it wasn't, it wasn't so out of place, right? Like that reaction, she would never react. And that was something that was super comforting. Cause I knew I wasn't crazy. I wasn't like going insane. Like I was okay.
