We talked stuff that works you up, how about things that you do to calm down? What techniques, activities, mantras, stims, etc. do you do to keep yourself comfortable and safe? Feel free to share what you’d like - and something kinda cool is that you might end up helping someone else down the line.
An app called Finch, and directed breathing exercises.
Also calling a friend to loudly vent at who has a very unique ability to calm me down again. Usually its enough to have someone listen to me and acknowledge my frustration
That’s a good one. You’re right there. And why I applaud people who can be even-keel in a world like this. It’s just something else.
I used breathing zone for so long I can hear the sounds in my head now and don’t have the app anymore. Thanks for the response =)!
I do breathing exercises as well. I think concentrating on the counting keeps my brain busy enough to ignore external stimuli.
