Im at a 3 right now but earlier I hit a 6. I brought myself down from it by writing in my journal about the situation then I took a walk around the block in the rain. then came home and listened to the relaxation tape my therapist had made me while sitting in the bathtub in my bathing suit, some bubbles and dyed the grey out of my hair while drawing (while the dye had to sit on my head) then when my hair was its natural/box colored dark brown I got out and drove my cat nuts by attaching a string to my crutches and walking as fast as I could around the dining table until both cat and I had enough, then I ate a late dinner in front of the tv, and on and off logged in here reading. Im tired but not enough to sleep yet. But at least I know I made it through one more day and one more stressfull situation. Hang in there delila maybe some of these things can help you.
