🕯️Calming Memories

When I was in highschool when I’d get anxious or panic attacks I’d ask if I can go to the office and the lady upfront would let me help her or walk around with my headphones in while I calmed down I could also stay in the counselor waiting room.

@SoulfullyAButterfly My childhood memories, they calm me in how well I could always deal with everything and still find joy. And of course, remembering the beautiful things I've seen, the wonderful trips I've had, and the comfort of my home when I was little, it calms me. But remembering how it's all gone doesn't let me stay in that state of calm for long. Now the only thing that really calms me is hearing something comforting or encouraging, be it from my mother, teachers, Cups friends, or in the form of music or a youtube video.

Those can be me, alone, in my room, listening to calming music, nature sounds, meditating, deep breathing, and more.

Or just being outdoors in a nice place, as well as bonding with my family.

Something that's calming to me is listening to a podcast/watching a comfort series and drawing.
