can someone please help me find that one comic strip where there’s two little girls and one of them says “my dad just got married, now I have 2 dads” and the other one goes “OH YEAH WELL I HAVE 100 DADS”
Validation: it’s ok that I hurt and want to feel better
Reassurance: I can handle this pain even though it hurts
Perspective taking: I’ve had bad days like this before and I’ve made it through them. I can remember my better days and know I’m not always hurting this much
