exercise like crazy to get my energy levels down
watch a funny movie
burn lavender oil
read (if I can keep my mind still enough)
ring a friend
do what i need to do to feel safer (check doors and windows, locks etc)
eat somthing nice - cook it if possible - anything that keeps me busy.
Go for a long walk - preferably away from people
do progressive muscle relaxation
Diaphramatic breathing
Do the 12 thing (name 12 things and their colour whilst taking a deep breath each time)
Write down every word that comes into my head for 5 mins
Run cold water over my hands as a distraction technique
Hold ice in my hand
Paint or write

thats all I can think of - P7

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
