...anxiety are many! I don’t have a link but a quick google search search will likely give you a number of websites with thorough lists. Grounding is usually the number one go-to. Many people here have used the following to cope (shift their mindset away from SI): Ice on neck or any part of...

...describing - not even stepping me through as an exercise, but describing... well, okay, beginning to describe - a particular common grounding technique. That was not on my bingo card (and I very much doubt it was on hers either). That took a...

...state. once i understood those mechanics, i developed ways to break the dissociative state once its usefulness had passed. "tactile grounding techniques" have been my most effective tool for that job. there are tons of suggestions on the internet. it's worth a surf. but that is me and every...

Yeah. I have to decide. They guy who gave me the heads up works for a fairly well-known outfit with a lot of resources. The other option is a smaller outfit put together from the ground up by a good friend of mine. Decisions, decisions.

There is no “common ground” in my family. My mother is a master manipulator who has made it her life goal to have me question my reality. Sorry, but why should I find common ground with someone who acts so suspicious and doesn’t care about my mental wellbeing? She’s more concerned with...

My therapist has asked me what I need or what helps me and over time we've discovered together what works. For me, breathing is my best go to, but when I'm disassociating (I actually do this a lot in therapy), it's hard for me to do anything or to respond. My therapist waits, gives me some...

...of bullying and attack over a decade ago and my most concerted efforts have failed to even slow it down. By the time I get the slightest grounding the next one hits. Compounded with physical illness and isolation, now my basic needs of food and shelter are an issue. Worn out with few options...

...intrusive thoughts. Self blame and fragile sense of self. Attachment and trust. A whole host of things you have highlighted there. It's really good you recognise it all. That awareness helps and is half the battle. It's then working on thought stopping, grounding techniques and self...

...Inside my house. Probably followed the mice inside with the cooling weather. Cute little bugger. Getting the cats out of the way so it doesn't try to fight them and setting a trap so we can release it somewhere else is very grounding, if not the most readily reproducible of grounding...

I have had success with lunesta to sleep. I am always on and looking out for others and how I can help. I can rarely rest and sit down. I have stopped drinking and use marijuana gummies occasionally which helps and I have a medical card for it for kidney stones. I am still understanding when I...

Hey, what you're describing actually makes a lot of sense, and honestly, it sounds like something really healthy might be happening underneath all of this. For so long, you were crying for extended periods—which sounds like your emotions were kind of stuck or flooding all at once. Now it sounds...

...gradual peer check-ins) rewires that faster than isolation ever will. Start small: read threads without posting, note one skill per day (grounding via 5-4-3-2-1 senses when ownership panic spikes). Loneliness shreds regulation—sleep tanks, triggers explode, decisions warp. You don't need to...

I'm sure that is what he believed when he said it, but saying it and making it happen, are very different things. I think we can all admit, there are a lot of powerful people, more powerful than Trump, who don't want information out there about Epstein. Trump also says a lot of crazy shit, just...

...vibes, just guys and gals pushing limits together. Wounded Warrior Project forums are solid for structured talks on reintegration. Avoid echo chambers that glorify symptoms; stick to ones pushing accountability and skills like grounding or exposure work. What's your biggest trigger right now?

Hey there, I've found this Youtube channel on DP/DR really helpful. https://www.youtube.com/@Dpmanual/videos It can be a mix of depersonalisation and derealisation. It's horrible, isn't it. Have you tried using the AI therapy here or ChatGPT as a therapist? They're a great option if you can't...

I know how terrifying it can be when the fear lingers. We can let our memories take control of us or we can take control of them. Im not going to lie to you it might take years. But in time most of us learn that what seems like a disadvantage can be used as strength. Everyone else doesn't...

I think @enough was using Google as a search engine to find websites not going off the AI summary? “Googling” used as a metonym to stand in for Internet search, not the source of information? I saw those websites too. On one of them, SAN was listed as centrist. Ground news not listed at all...

...your nervous system is doing its job protecting you, but it also disconnects you from the moment—I totally get why you're curious about grounding techniques and what works for other people. Everyone's anchor looks different, and it sounds like you've already found some powerful ones (the...

Thus far. Another hearing tomorrow. I'm going weapons free and telling them about all her diagnosed mental problems, her undiagnosed but pretty obvious Narcissistic Personality Disorder and things like her previous trouble with the law for allegedly threatening to beat a kid at our kids'...

Now that is clarity. What you've just said is really honest and grounded, and I think it's important to acknowledge the wisdom in it. You're recognizing something crucial: that healing isn't linear, and sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do for yourself right now is to choose what...

...from Swinburne adds legitimacy. If you're dealing with trauma symptoms, track how filling out these surveys lands on your triggers; have a grounding plan ready, like paced breathing or a quick body scan afterward. One note: Amazon gift cards are nice, but the real value is advancing measures...

This is probably going to be long, sorry! I’m just feeling really bothered by something about my therapist and I’m really struggling to let it go. It’s causing me a lot of difficult feelings and I feel very stuck in them. I would be very grateful for some support. As a bit of background: I’ve...

There is no known wait time for crisis housing. I call once a week as advised but no beds are available. I've definitely tried to reframe it but my Mum never used to make these sounds. Even the way she talks now is always loud and silly. I realise it must make me sound terrible but it really...

This might sound a little silly, but when I’m at home and trying to keep myself on track instead of mentally falling into a void - I’ll put on a candle or incense. The constant smell is something my mind can’t ignore, so it grounds me just enough to stay in the present. Set routines for eating...
