Just curious -- do you ever take inventory and remind yourself of the social supports you have in place to help you? I often withdrawl and forget I even have additional supports at hand.

Also, additional question -- what is your one go-to coping skill when things get rough that helps you weather things?

For me it's the following:

My support system is rather simple: A therapist, a psychiatrist, family and a few friends. It includes also mental health forums (here). It's effective though and will hold me accountable and help me evaluate my overall needs.A case manager has been mentioned a few times but we haven't crossed that bridge quite yet.

As for my go-to coping skill? Honestly a walk in nature is the best way to help distract my mind. I naturally and anxious and pace, so taking it out into the world and allowing myself to vent, or process, or just distract, while walking is a great thing for me. If the weather doesn't permit -- pacing listening to music in my house does work as well.

What about you guys? I'm curious.
