Hi @Jacques and @hiddenite
Great idea Jacques about distractions! Any ideas for tonight?
I was thinking of sharing some grounding techniques - do either of you have any you would recommend and have found useful in the past?

Hi Nik
I find using my senses to stay grounded helpful.
Name 5 things you can
See
hear
touch
taste
smell
Also breathing meditation

Re: catching up
Hi guys, so sorry for being late 🙂 we got a years worth of rain in 4 hours, a little flooded here, well in 1 room anyway :D.
Ok distraction or dealing with panic attacks.
I find playing humorous videos very beneficial, even when i am not in the mood, watching something helps take my mind off my thoughts, and being funny animal scenes or comedy shows allows me to have something uplifting. it works for me every night now, i have to with the long nights of panic.
mindfulness, try to focus on the here and now.
Focusing on deep breaths.
go outside for a minute to get fresh air and different scenery
music
SANE forum
muscle relaxation
Hobbies
if i have been out too much take some time out for myself alone.

Re: catching up
Great ideas!
Using all your senses is a good one @hiddenite. I do something along those lines, but I specifically use sight and look at objects and think in my head 'that painting is read, 'that chair is deep blue' I find myself natually taking deeper breaths when I try that.
Jaques - I LOVE interesting and funny videos. My favourite are cute dog videos and panda videos... I don't know why... but pandas just make me laugh!

Re: catching up
Haha @NikNik, mum and i love Pandas too, mum is doing an embroidery of 2 pandas eating bamboo.
i need audio distraction, because my thoughts are so loud, i need sound to make them go away, so really anything with sound works for me. 🙂
