Taking it one day at a time.
Trying to remember all that I have and being grateful for that.
Trying my best to relax. Keep myself happy, calm and safe.
Sometimes end up long periods in bed but it feels safe.
Keeping my thoughts positive and trying not to punish myself.
Been reading, and trying out meditating. Controlling my breathing when I start to get overwhelmed.
Also have medication to help.
Try to tell myself that I'm doing a good job.
