“Practicing talking to yourself can be a really helpful thing too, even in the mirror; we get so hung up on wondering what other people see, that we forget that actually, we don't see ourselves. We don't see our facial expressions when we speak to others, sometimes it can be helpful to learn what you do look like when you talk, because when you know, you don't have to wonder.”

“My name is Luna-Ray Jones, I am fifteen years old and this is the fourth consecutive weekend that I haven't actually left the house. The reason is because I have this condition. When people hear it, they don't get it. They don't realise it's an actual thing that causes really big problems. They don't realise that this condition is ruining my life. I don't think there is a cure for it; I'm likely to be stuck in this horrible cycle for the rest of my entire existence. My name is Luna-Ray Jones, I'm fifteen years old and I have anxiety.”

“well if your mum tells you the same thing and confirms what you believe to be true, it won't change anything. You'd simply hear the same information from a different person. Would that really change how you feel about it? It's nothing new. Whereas if your mum was to tell you something different...." Sadie waits for me to fill in the blank. It takes me a second to find my three words.
"It changes everything.”
