I've been extra triggered recently and it is helping for me to focus on what works. Anything can be seen as a success, even if brushing my teeth daily is all I can come up with sometimes.
 What is working for you? Today when my neighborhood got noisy and chaotic it helped to close my blinds to keep the view out but the light still coming in, to turn on a fan for background lulling sound, and to use earplugs. A walk in the spring sunshine helped me get fresh air and some new perspective. I saw new spring flowers. Today it helped me to remember that I've survived being triggered plenty of times before, I'm a good person, and I can use good self care. __________________ |

(((muffy))) Your list inspires me, I like especially the reminder that if I make a mistake it is okay. I forget that sometimes.

What worked for me today is thought stopping. I'm overwhelmed with a volunteer task IRL, and I had to stop and realize that my thinking was out of control. This event is over next weekend. There's nothing I can do today to make anything any better right now.
I stopped "worrying" about the event. And then I stopped myself from thinking about it altogether. ((((hugs)))) __________________ |

What worked for me today is taking time out to give myself a hug and remind myself that I am special and worth it. It also helps to just talk to myself quietly and calm myself down

What worked for me today:
looking over this thread, thank you everyone using thought stopping - imagining a red stop sign and using the phrase "don't borrow trouble" giving myself some time to just relax and be absorbed in reading a good book __________________ |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
