Something that's helped (sometimes) is reminding myself when I'm in the moment that the feeling won't last forever; that the life-or-death urge to engage yet again won't last forever (no feelings ever do). It hasn't worked for me 100% of the time, more like 50%, but it's better than nothing! Often it's just a matter of 20-30 minutes until the feeling has passed and I no longer want to reach out.

Good post. My t tells me that I will not die of feeling certain way. I avoid things that might cause me anxiety. She says no matter how bad I feel I need to know it will pass and I won't die of it. Makes sense (easier said than done though)
