pro tip: never tell someone "it's gonna get better" because their immediate thought is "what if it doesn't" or to scoff because it's cliche as fuck. The truth is it very well might not get better. The human brain is unpredictable. Life is unpredictable. It can get better and it can also get a lot worse. So instead, acknowledge this fact, if you've seen enough of them to know that they're better than they were before, tell them this, and make sure they know they're not alone.
