@araooo1 - Things I do include: deep conscious breathing... inhale deeply then exhale for 30 seconds.  This oxygenates the body and can get us centered again.  Go for a walk.  When you're more centered sit down with journal and write down what is troubling you and then better ways to think about the sore spots to reclaim your self esteem.

i understand that smoking is how you cope with it and im really sorry with what you're going through, but it's not much healthy is it? 7 minutes of peacefulness is costing you your health for even a prolonged amount of time. is it worth it?

I try my best to go to happy place, like day dreaming, I also try to listen to music and stay as active as I can. If I keep moving the more focused I can be on not being triggered, my biggest one is, journaling and diary entries ❤️❤️❤️

awww, that sounds so lovely! i'd be sure to do some dancing myself next time <3 and yes, youre right. when we are able to divert our mind from the thing that is hurting us in the moment, its easier to calm down and reflect. youre the sweetest, thank you for replying love. i hope youre always healthy and safe

Yes dancing does sound fun, and the cooking skills I have help me so much, I try not to act or speak out of anger, because than it's not me. I don't want to hurt anyone, anger is one of the most powerful emotions and what we choose to do with it reflects on what kind of person we are and how we handle things. ❤️‍🩹

You truly are the sweetest person for this forum my dear 💕 I'm trying my best to remain happy, safe, and healthy, as I hope your doing the same?
