What should I do? I'm on the edge!
Can you tell me more about what you are experiencing?
My house's power is out and I really need sleep.
I'm sorry you're having a bad night, but you need to take charge. Sitting there helplessly isn't going to bring the power back on, so get a lantern or flashlight and fix it.
I tried, it's true. I wish I had someone to hold me.
I'm sorry that you're going through a rough time right now, it will pass. You should be sure to ask for help in the future. There are resources available through nonprofits and churches.
