DISCLAIMER: this isn’t a substitute for therapy and/or medication. Sometimes therapy isn’t accessible. Sometimes we have a bad week and need to recenter ourselves.

I think we can learn from each other and find methods we didn’t even know about! What’s helpful to another may be ineffective to another, and I think learning about an array of methods would be valuable.

What’s been helpful for me:

  • Spending time in nature
  • Journaling (I would google journal prompts pertaining to my predicaments)
  • Guided meditations on Youtube
  • Free worksheets: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheets (my therapist who specialized in CBT used some of these during our sessions, I’m glad they’re free)

    Baking has been really good for me. Also I love hot water, but dont have a usable bathtub, so I got myself a shower chair. It’s so relaxing.

    Every evening I go for a walk. The fresh air nd bird sightings are as good for me as the exercise.
