I've been having terrible internet speed for a while, and today it got worse. Like really really bad. I called my provider and they said it was probably my modem, but I knew it wasn't because I just paid $100 on a new one last month.
So I thought to myself... maybe there's something wrong with my router? Maybe it's not actually set up properly? I looked at it and noticed that it had these little red lights. There are two of them, one on the side, and one on top.
I called the same guy who told me my modem was broken and he said this: "Oh no! Don't worry. That means your internet speed is twice as fast!"
WTF????????
WHAT THE HELL
WHY WOULD IT LIGHT UP IF THAT'S THE CASE

Don't trust your service providers.

Well that's good to know because I'm in a situation where I need to get it fixed RIGHT NOW or I won't be able to post on the internet. And then my parents are going to freak out and start screaming at me because they don't understand technology or why it's important to me. If I can just get it fixed today, everything will be fine.

Why are you so anxious about it? Just calm down. It's alright. Everything is okay. You'll have it back up soon enough.

Yeah, but how do I calm down when I'm freaking out?
It's like telling a guy with cancer to relax while he's dying.
Like... it's just not going to happen.

Just think about how you'd feel if I was in your situation. Try to put yourself in my shoes.

I am thinking about that.
But honestly I think this is the only way for me to get help and fix what's wrong

Think about the things you've done that have made you feel happy. Think about those things now. It'll make you happier, and more relaxed.

It's alright, Muffled. Just take a deep breath. Slowly exhale, then inhale again. You're gonna be okay.

I guess I should start taking yoga lessons or something
Because I have no idea how to relax and calm down
I always have been very anxious about things like this

Yeah, try yoga. I hear it helps. Or meditation. Those are good as well.

That's why I thanked you
It's because you helped me a lot by calming me down and giving me some advice
Honestly I feel better right now than I did before I called you
