For a long time I journalled to help me. I wrote about anything that came to mind. It was a safe place to 'rant' and to say what I wanted, reasonable or not
Is there a way to go weekly right now?
I also use distractions but not very healthy ones--like eating and vegging out in front of the tv. If I can read, that's a much better way to distract, but sometimes I can't when I'm distressed. Knitting and crocheting, doing something with my hands helped to naturally calm me somewhat.
Writing was the biggest help though.

to you!
