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 don’t always have it in me to execute on my own advice, but going for a run genuinely helps. Since leaving the house is a challenge in itself for me I bought a treadmill, and it was such a good decision. Reducing the friction between impulse and actually running was key for me, it’s so easy now to just stumble onto the treadmill and get going, and I don’t have to think about leaving the house or planning a route or meeting people or anything.
