You won't stop feeling this way in this conversation. Maybe not in conversations down the line, either, but I need you to remember that what you're feeling is not a permanent state. You will feel better. In the meanwhile, you need to step up as best you can and try to combat the negative thoughts you're having with something positive, or at least neutral.
"I don't know how to stop feeling this way. But that's all right because I've felt other ways in the past. And I'll be able to feel those ways again. Find a memory in your head of a time when you weren't feeling like this. Try to remember what it was like. What you were doing and how good it felt. Focus on that, center yourself, and then carry on as best you can. Because you know that that? That is within your reach. It can be that way again.
