Coping strategies that may help
Deep Breathing
Focus on slow, deep breaths to help calm your body and mind. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly.
Grounding Techniques
Engage your senses by noticing five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
Mindfulness Meditation
Take a few minutes to sit quietly and focus on the present moment. Acknowledge your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Positive Affirmations
Repeat affirmations that resonate with you, such as 'I am safe' or 'This feeling will pass,' to help shift your mindset.
