its wasnt a healthy coping mechanism @MDT but am working on that. thats the distress levels i need to work on bringing down and thinking before i act instead of jumping in. have a look at the thread i suggested, it has heaps of thing there and you could try writing some down in a book or somewhere or add them to a coping toolbox to help you when you feel you need to. i think the thought challanging would help you, going off memory from there.
how are you today?

sometimes @MDT i have strategies there but i have quite alot that i dont know what to use them for as in what they are best used for. and needing to remind myself that i have those strategies there that i can use instead. so im in the middle of trying to write down all my coping mechanisms and thinking about which ones are good for what, how i can manage them bett (access them) for at home, in the car while driving and also just to have in the car for social events etc when feeling overwhelmed.
love online shopping so ive had to make sure i contrl that esp with appts coming up- esp pscyhologists casue they cost a bomb!. i hope uni is ok for you today, i thought you had finished?
