Me: Uh... hello?
  
Me: Matt. listen to me.
  
Me: Who is this?
  
Me: It's me... I'm you. I apologise for this rather unorthodox intervention, but it's my duty and I'm the only one you'll listen to.
  
Me: This is pretty fucked up.
  
Me: Listen, the denial and repression of distressing emotions is present.
  
Confrontation is immanent and unavoidable.
  
Has the fear set in?
  
Me: It's in the background - yes.
  
Me: Evasion is a natural response, but not the healthy one.
  
A reclaiming of responsibility is crucial at this point, a reappraisal of motives - essential.
  
Difficult questions have been raised; the answers - or lack thereof - all converge at meltdown.
  
Immediate crisis prevention plans must be laid.
  
Steps must be taken now.
  
Breathe deep.
  
Me: Jesus...
  
Me: Do you understand?
  
Me: Yes.
  
Me: Will you act?
  
Me: Yes... I think so. Must I?
  
Me: You know you must. You know I just want what's best for you.
  
Me: You're right, I will be brave.
  
Me: I'm glad we had this talk.
  
Me: Me too.
  
Me: Goodbye.
  
Me: Bye.
