Synopsis: June doesn’t tell any of her family members that she has
crippling anxiety and depression. She booked the therapy session
herself with Doctor Evelyn, and this is her first time trying out
this method without any promises or hopes. June struggles to get the
thoughts out into words and once Doctor Evelyn asks her if she has
any friends, that’s when the truth comes out. June tells Evelyn that
her one and only best friend is The Girl, (aka her depression), who
is in the room, but only June can see her. The “best friend” that
she describes isn’t necessarily a good friend. Instead, her fuel to
stay happy is when June’s in pain. June battles with her own
thoughts since her friend likes to stick around to twist and turns
everything to what she thinks is right, not for June’s sake. At the
end, June understands and accepts this part of herself. She gives
her friend a hug and says “I got you”. And because only June can see
the girl, in Doctor Evelyn’s P.O.V, she sees the hug as June hugs
herself- an act of self-love
