Thanks. It's general anxiety at this point, the physiological aftereffect of pushing too hard in therapy I think, combined w/the normal stressors.
I've done imagery, helped for a while.
I've done changing temperatures, helped for a while.
I've changed directions, done some counterprogramming, such as gardening, listening to helpful music, etc. And got some extra rest.
I'm struggling to do more as my concentration is shot.
Giving in for a while is tempting, but no time right now, and the idea of putting it off seems impossible.
I'll try imagery again maybe. Just tried another mindfulness exercise, but am really struggling to concentrate.
P.S. Thanks for replying because it got me thinking that if I was short on time and concentration, maybe I needed to focus on simple physical reassurance. That's probably why I don't want to be alone, or want my therapist, so I wrapped up in a quilt and that helps a bit. If anyone else wants to reply or has ideas, I'd be glad for them though.
