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!
Thanks Echoes

I do write my experiences and emotions out, but I suppose not regularly, especially when I am busy. In those times, I just go take care of things and fight as my physical health goes downward.

I went to the YMCA today, which helped me work through some anxiety and anger for a little bit. I'll have to write more ~ daily! Thank you!
