Re: Venting/Need Advice (TW: Depression/Anxiety)

[personal profile] insolentwitch 2012-10-15 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hello. I've struggled a lot with anxiety and self-harming. I've been going through a really hard time lately, so please know you aren't alone.

Going to a quiet, dimly lit, and very cool place helps me a lot. The temperature can really calm me down. If you can make yourself comfortable in anyway you should. Music really helps me. It's a great distraction for me when I can tolerate sounds without being overwhelmed. This makes it useful for preventing a panic attack, or distracting me from the urges to harm. Finding ways to take my mind off of the urges is hard, but helpful.

Depending on the situation I've found that talking to somebody can make a difference. If you think it could help you there are helplines you could call. I always used a local one based out of the local mental health clinic, there might be something like that in your area. There were times where having somebody to talk to anonymously about how I was feeling and what was triggering me kept me from relapsing into self-harming. Talking doesn't usually work for me in the middle of a panic attack, but it can be good for prevention.

I don't know if any of that helps, but I hope it does. More than anything I just want you to know you aren't alone and that I care.
