Everyone needs a huge toolbox of coping skills and when needed use them , keep going coping skills until something sticks.

I think DBT workbooks would help you , easy to purchase online, just a thought

Do you have a recommended DBT workbook, or is it OK to go by reviews?

I have problems with mindfulness even though I try it.

A little more successful with distractions. But they can't be too complicated.

Going to ask the T about coping skills today. Some days are just God-awful hard and bad especially if they get off to a rough start or I wake up and fibro is horrific.
