Any tips

[Leighb]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering has anyone got any tips on how to calm down, when overthinking or in the mist of anxiety. ANY help would be appreciated.

Leighb,

I am attending dialectical behavioral therapy. I have learned a lot about numerous types of coping mechanisms, and you may find those skills useful. I like that there are about 30 skills you can learn, so it gives you a lot of options. If you are in a position to do so, perhaps you can investigate this (maybe online so you don't have to spend any money buying a book) and see if any of the skills are things that resonate with you. Of course, that is not the only way, but I like it because you have so many choices that if you can only use 10% of it, that's 3 more skills you had before you started.

I wonder what kinds of tricks you have used in the past that worked. Maybe you could start there and build from that. Do you have any physical people in your life who can help you or give you feedback? I hope you find your answers.
