If you can do nothing else, tell the truth. Say, “I don’t know who I was before now, and I don’t know who I’ll be tomorrow.” Say, “There are things about me you’ll never fix, and it’s not your job to fix me.” Say, “I feel things I don’t know how to feel.” Say, “We can be anything but we can’t be everything.” Say, “I can do nothing else, this is me and this is all there is.” If anyone stays with you after you’ve told them that, stay with them as long as they’ll have you.
