After Some Thinking...

February 16, 2018

Direct Message from EmmaSwan to ReginaOfLocksley, ThatVioletGirl

EmmaSwan: So I've been thinking about what Violet said and I've realized, she's right

EmmaSwan: It's not okay to just laugh your problems off because that's all you've ever done in the past; I need to open up about my problems and get help

EmmaSwan: I'm not sure exactly why you know that's what one should do in this circumstance, but it's good advice either way

ThatVioletGirl: I've actually started going to therapy once a week and I'm taking medicine to help with my anxiety now

EmmaSwan: You are?

ThatVioletGirl: Yep

ThatVioletGirl: I talked to Ruby and Dorothy about it and they were all for the idea

ThatVioletGirl: It's been helping me a lot actually!

EmmaSwan: Well good for you!

EmmaSwan: I realize that may have sounded sarcastic but I meant it honestly; I'm happy that you're getting help and getting better

ReginaOfLocksley: So um I actually thought about it too and I know I have problems, but I also don't tell most people about them

ReginaOfLocksley: Like literally only Robin and Henry really know

ReginaOfLocksley: but anyway I've been taking antidepressants for the past few years and it does help

ReginaOfLocksley: And they were prescribed to me; I didn't just randomly start taking them one day I promise

EmmaSwan: I'm glad you shared that with us Regina

EmmaSwan: Wow so this turned into like group therapy or something

ReginaOfLocksley: You know One Day at a Time actually made me feel better about taking medicine every day

ThatVioletGirl: Me too

ThatVioletGirl: Also I'm absolutely terrified to ever stop taking it so you know there's that

ReginaOfLocksley: eh

EmmaSwan: Okay so have either of you seen Crazy Ex-Girlfriend?

ReginaOfLocksley: I've seen most of season one

EmmaSwan: Okay that's all you need

EmmaSwan: I feel like Rebecca when she takes the pill she found on the bathroom floor out of desparation

EmmaSwan: Like, I just want to stop feeling sometimes so I can focus on something besides my feelings, you know?

ReginaOfLocksley: Yeah

ThatVioletGirl: But we need to feel

ThatVioletGirl: Emotions are what make us human, and it's okay to feel things

ReginaOfLocksley: ^^

EmmaSwan: I know

EmmaSwan: I also realized I broke the sacred unspoken rule by not adding Neal to this

ReginaOfLocklsey: oh that's okay Neal broke the rule back in December so this is just like revenge

EmmaSwan: NEAL BROKE THE SACRED UNSPOKEN RULE?!
