Re: Safety

The noise is the opposing forces competing for your 'mindspace' @Eden1919 they can only 'take-over' if you let them - this is harder said than done - I do get that but you can do it. Breathe, walk around the room if you need to but breathe in and out slowly as you do it - concentrate on your breathing - in and out - nothing else - just your breathing - then write....

Re: Safety

@Eden1919 As the others have said, you haven't been failing, and nothing suggests you will start failing now.

Take it minute by minute.

There have been a lot of suggestions here so far. Don't think too much about what to do, keep having a go at the suggestions others have provided. If one doesn't work, go on to the next, it's okay.

Perhaps @Zoe7 and @Former-Member could re-post some of their strategies they have offered so you have the list handy (they may even be posting something as I type this 🙂 )

Re: Safety

Then scream @Eden1919 - grab a pillow and scream into it - it will help release so of the tension.

I know that those conflicting 'forces' are 'controlling' what you can and can't say - but that is ok - we concentrate on the things that we can do - @NikNik asked you to list 9 things earlier - do that again...

3 colours you can see at the moment

3 objects you can see at the moment

3 things you can touch at the moment
