What can calm you when nothing seems to help?

[Applecherry]

I woke up feeling so numb today, numb and anxious. "Numb" I'm the sense, I couldn't quite figure out exactly what I was feeling. I don't feel like much is helping right now, sleep just makes me think of my weird dreams, and does not refresh me that much. I don't feel so much like hobbies right now either.

I just can't se to allow good feelings in. :(

Something that I do that helps me is going through photo albums or photos in general of fun awesome things you did in the past. It can remind you of the fun happy not anxious person you once were, and the memories might trigger some happy memories that will relive the anxiety. Although if you have had a bad past then maybe not a good idea. Also eat apples and watch cartoons. Sounds dumb but it can help a lot.

For me its either: 1) lying in bed, drinking tea, listening to guided meditation.
Or 2) taking a calm walk with a close friend who understands and is a good listener (am grateful to have had such a friend, unfortunately he is leaving the country duno how im gona cope)

And I agree with the cartoons. I usually watch movies I used to watch when I was younger when im anxious. Something about them makes me feel safe and good and relaxed. Or maybe it reminds me of a simpler time. : ) without all the irrational worries..

How I'm learning to deal with my anxiety is though crafting while talking to my bf who has ptsd. Friends who understand are the best help.

Thanks for the suggestions, I may try looking at old photos, I have put off my photography for several months, I've just been busy with other things.

Some Music can help! I agree with watching cartoons, watching a cartoon or a comedy always makes me feel a bit better. I tend to try and avoid the news and other depressing programs.

I'm not saying to start self medicating.

I'm just saying in those super bad days, 2 glasses of red wine will have you giggling like a schoolgirl and think anxiety is a big wuss

Or is it the calm before the storm?

And I agree
I think eman is probably dealing with his family business
