Re: Favorite coping mechanisms - February 20th 2022, 02:37 AM

I'm supposed to work on "belly breathing" for pt, but it is also helpful for mental health.

My favorites are to write, walk, or be with nature/spend time with my pets. Getting out of the house or listening to music are good distractions for me too. Watching TV and thinking about what makes me feel safe, and then recreating it is useful.

As far as what I want to try - meditation and yoga are my priority but I haven't had the time. Are there any new coping skills you all have been thinking about trying?


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
