Somce you dont wakt to do therapy right now (understandable), ill share with you my tricks that my AWESOME counselor taught me- I saw her every monday for 11 months straight.... She became a 'friend'.
My therapist had me do 2 things that really helped: 1. Breathing/visualization. Lay back, on a bed or recliner, and close your eyes. Picture yourself in a calming place- whatever location works for you (beach, mountain, field...) once you're there, focus on your breathing. The deep kind from your gut. Breathe in for 10 seconds (slowly) and breathe out for 10 more. Do this for about 10 minutes a day (I usually fall asleep) 2. Journaling. For me, writing became frustrating because my hand couldn't keep up with my thoughts- and I would loose track or loose my train of thought. I started keeping an audio journal on my phone- so I can record my thoughts while driving or anywhere- and it only takes 3-5 minutes. If you have the iPhone, it should come with an app called 'voice memos'. It's super easy to use, and it will sync to your iTunes account, so you never loose them
Just some thoughts, Only looking out for #1!!
