“When was the last time you went through something traumatic or anything anxiety filling?

What did you do to calm yourself?

How long did it last until you cut it? To feel it try to work towards that point.

Leave it. If you can’t walk, crawling will still get you closer than standing still or laying down.

I’m even writing this right now while facing that type of episode.

It’s something I’ve never done before but needed to just so I can not only look back add learn what lies under it.”

This is something that happened a few days ago.

It was through voice to text, since typing was not an option at that moment.

Still, having the capacity to say this even without finishing it, it’s a feat that I’m patting myself on the back for. It’s no different from journaling, since it can be just as effective in organizing your thoughts.

Just remember the importance of deep breaths during those times. Easier said than done, for sure, but your body and spirit will appreciate the attempt.
