Coping with Emotional Turmoil: Seeking Advice

I’ve found just yelling (in my mind) the word STOP!!! You’re not going there! really helps. Then think of something else or do something. I used to constantly think about all the things that cause me pain and my left never got better. Doing this creates mental toughness. I was an emotional cripple until I started doing this. Do it 50 times a day if you have to. It will get less and less and will just become a habit after a while. All the best!
