Find some activities that you can distract yourself with......oh, anything you enjoy doing....walking around a park. If you have a dog, that also helps...if not, I have several I can loan you...lol.

I find that I enjoy doing crafts...mostly beading jewelry & other things.....the process of designing & doing keeps the mind busy so that it doesn't have time to focus on the bad things is wants to focus on (I just lost my horse last week & the grief has been overwhelming) When I feel that way, I loose my appetite & can't eat......so I have a bit different struggles....but struggles still the same.

Getting together with friends also helps...riding horses, going to the movies, art showings, any number of fun things that are available to do that keep the mind from controlling the body.......

I have lived alone for the last 4 years after leaving my husband. For me, it's been the best thing I have ever done in my life & being alone is a good thing because it's forced me to have to take care of myself better than when I lived with him.....I have 5 dogs now (started out with 7) that need all my attention & care.....so having to take care of myself & not allowing anorexia to take over when my stress gets high has been a critical part of self-care.

Find things outside of yourself to focus on.....good place to start & stay.
