There are ON Line DBT self help......the good thing about that is that it teaches coping skills in many areas with a focus on mindfulness (an awareness of everything going on around you & everything you feel & think......then ANALYZE it before reacting or taking action.
That was helpful & there are diary cards daily which really help for me better than a journal because it tied together everything & kept track in a concise way without a lot of writing.

I have found that mindfulness techniques are pretty effective in reducing anxiety for me. I'm really just scratching the surface so far, but want to do more in this area.
Can you expand on the diary cards daily idea? Is that just using index cards to write your thoughts down daily or is there more to it than that? Sounds interesting to me.
