I have the characters living in my head. They argue with me, they're there to help me out when I need it, they give me someone to talk to and explain things to, they act as my honour guard when I'm having to deal with stressful situations, and they're joining in with everyone else who cares about me to make sure I actually perform self-care, rather than abandoning it for later. If I didn't have the boys in my head looking out for me... well, I'd probably be more of a mess than I already am.

(Yes, I have my own little self-insert AU where the characters live in my head and pass comment on my life).
