Dear Macy,

I just wanted to thank you. I know not a lot of people do this but you deserve a lot of thanks considering you listen to people talk about their problems and you give some pretty kick ass advice. But, of course I didn't just write this letter to you thanking you for shit. I also have a problem. I'm not sure if someone else had this problem and you gave some advice for it, but here goes. I often feel fat. Like really fat. People keep telling me I'm not and that I should eat more, but I mean it's hard when all you see is fat thighs and a bulging stomach. I've heard that throwing up loses a lot of weight and I don't know what I want you to say, but I really don't want to resort to throwing up.

From,

Dear kick ass advice thanker,

You are so sweet! That means a lot to me. It is hard sometimes but I really feel like I'm actually helping you guys. So if that's what it takes then by all means I'll do it.

Ok, now let's get down to your problem. I'm sure your not fat and even if you are throwing up is never the answer. Sure, it lets you lose a couple of pounds really quickly, but is it worth it? Often times if you develop bulimia, you won't even eat regular food, so you just keep throwing up on an empty stomach. Don't do that to yourself, you will hurt yourself and people around you. Instead, try to do any exercise that you can. Whether it be just three minutes of sit ups or actually going to the gym for a few hours. Doing workouts actually helps. As well as cutting out your daily snack. Those take up the most calories often, so try to stay away from them. But every now and then you can always cheat a little. But never resort to throwing up.

Love, Macy.

"So, uh, what's up?" I asked nervously. I combed my hair back with my hand. I noticed that I tend to do that whenever I'm scared or nervous for something.

"Well, I'm suicidal and depressed." she answered. She looked more nervous than me. Her eyes looked tired and they kept darting around the computer room. Her hands looked sweaty and she continued to rub them together every 30 seconds.

"So what do you want me to do or say?" I asked. I wanted to be confident and give her a sense of reassurance but I knew that that wasn't going to happen and that I was going to probably flop and fail.

"I need you to give me something to hold on to. Like you did in your advice column. You're really good at writing." the girl replied. She seemed to relax a little and I really wish that I would as well.

"Well, you need to... um..." I looked down at the ground. I kept stumbling over my words and I didn't know what to say or do.

Cause I thought that we were all fucked up. I needed something to hold on to...

I looked at my editor and she gave me a small smile. That was all I needed to hold on.
