When I’m distressed or anxious I find myself in these endless trains of thought. Just stuck in a loop. What helps you break free? I try to come back to reality, or use some coping techniques like breathing, but I’d love to hear what works for you.

    I limit my social media and filter subjects that stress me out on what little I do use. I also uninstalled news apps I used to use. Not a full solution, but it helped me. Other more personal issues that bothered me took time. Lots of time. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

      Great advice. And thanks! Feeling pretty good for the most part but it is interesting how the news or something in my social circle can destabilize me. You have some good advice in how to limit those triggers.
