1.) dear therapist, I’m eating as much as possible and have good medical care, I’ll be ok. Yes I’m drinking protein shakes too. Stop fussing over me.
2.) dear stomach, STOP with the puking already. Pneumonia is bad enough, I know the antibiotics are hell on you, let’s try keeping them in my body though ok? I’m taking good probiotics, and prebiotics, please stop rejecting everything I eat...
3.) dear heart, it will be ok. Rest.
4.) dear brain, all those stressful thoughts of worry about work and etc, NOT HELPFUL. Let’s think about what is good and safe and ok...
5.) dear dog, you are the best. Thanks for sleeping at my feet all night and resting your head on my icky chest in the morning.
