What do you do when you arent feeling safe but you dont want to go to the hospital and helplines arent working? Also what do you do when distractions and all of that stuff isnt working either?

Re: Safety
Hi Eden,
Do you find noise like TV and Radio help reduce the noise inside?

Re: Safety
@NikNik Not really sometimes it adds to it but also I normally have some sound at all times because otherwise i get scared that I will start hearing things again. I really dont know what to do anymore.

Re: Safety
Background noise is a good idea - it seems like TV watching isn't working at the moment though.
There are some other things you have said have worked before, such as:
Play with a pet
Watch a favourite film, YouTube clip or TV show
Listen to music
Be creative (e.g. drawing, painting)
Write something
Take a shower or bath
Read a book
If you're not sure where to start, perhaps you should just work your way through the list?

Re: Safety
Thanks @NikNik I have been working through the list but now I can't sleep and I am starting to have another panic attack.
