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.
Good suggestion also, from Christina. It reminded me of the class I took a few years ago, which helped me a lot.

Learn DBT Skills & Stop Sabotaging | Online DBT Courses

There are references to borderline support, but really this can help so many people regardless of diagnosis. I'm not diagnosed with borderline, but there are some traits I definitely relate with, and have struggled with. Abandonment was one of them.

This is the book the therapist who leads this class told us to buy:
Amazon.com: The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook: Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation & ... Tolerance (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) (8601400879689): Matthew McKay, Jeffrey C. Wood, Jeffrey Brantley: Books

Thanks for this!
