Something’s not right

Other basic strategies please

Other basic strategies please

So I’m in the beginning of seeking help.

in the mean time I’ve been using AI to just give me some basic tip. It’s good that these things are constantly referring to me to go to the GP without it constantly telling me to do so I probably wouldn’t have done it.

im getting my mental health care plan on Sunday so I can access some sessions.

so far what has worked in episodes of intense depressive/anxiety emotions is breathing long and focusing on one action at a time.

treating bed like sleep only and if I need to lay down to lay down on the couch or anywhere else, but not the bed.

pushing all decisions and what ifs out of my head completely.

Just completely saying “I don’t have to make any decisions and it doesn’t apply to what I’m achieving right now”.

Good luck with your mental health plan @Sunflowers2908

You mentioned a few good strategies.... I also separated bed and rest for a long time.... I also have found breathing techniques helpful, and also chose swimming and music which also kept me working and conscious of my breathing. Are there other interests you have, or would like to start?

My current learning areas are in comedy and socialising. Hooman Beans being what they are ... socialising will be alife long project.
