I got some kind of intake appointment next week so we’ll see if they can find someone for me. I guess the reason I’m posting is I’m wondering what steps you guys take when things get dicey or start to go downhill. I haven’t had to deal with this much.

Hi Sp, It's good to see you around here. I wish I had some great advice to pass along. The most effective technique for me is to try my best to pay attention to my breathing, rather than to my thoughts. I also use my breath while I'm "counting to 10" if I feel snappy. Besides that, I use self talk and keep using it, even though it's not necessarily working perfectly.
