Even if you don't have control over your stressors, does it help at all to write them down? I'd think that maybe getting them on paper and organized would help feel somewhat more in control - like, at least you've identified what's going on, so you can maybe plan for them a bit better (rather than walking around being surprised by triggers)? Maybe?
Sorry it's rough right now... I hope you can get used to the new day soon, so it starts feeling more normal and not so long before you see T...  |
It did help a little to write them down. It doesn't make them go away, but at least they're named and pointed out.

Bath
Sleep 
Make pancakes (?)
Write a story/journal 
Ring a friend
List everything stressing you out in order on paper
This one is a little strange, but it REALLY helped me when dealing with triggers and stressors. Basically, set up your phone camera or something to film you, and just sit there and talk. Talk about every single thing bothering you. You could even pretend you're making a YT video.
After I've done this, it feels a tiny bit like a therapy session. I feel so much lighter and easier and more able to cope with the things around me.
Really recommend this one as a short term fix. |
Brain conditioning was my restatement of what she said. Sorry. Basically, that I am used to being able to unload on Mondays, and when I can't, it gets stressful for me to keep it in until Wednesdays. I have been trying not to cry all day simply because I have so many different emotions going on right now.
That video camera idea is interesting. I wonder if it would work for me. I'm so self-conscious about how I sound on recordings, though.
