suggestion ... maybe during times when you are just watching tv or other wise ok sit down and write a list of things you like to do, what you like to eat, what you like for music.... what things normally give you a sense of fun, enjoyment, happiness, comfort. then when in crisis just work your way down the list. my own list is 485 things I enjoy doing, listening to, eating, watching, touching, smelling.....

thank you amanda.
lists are good, I don't know how I missed that
I mean I did write a list of grounding items I could collect to put in my cupboard, but not so much a list of activities
