I cry. I feed myself comfort food and do something to help ease me out.

I try to use mindfulness that it's not real. DBT skills are great but I understand that when it's there it seems more than real. I've gotten to the point with therapy that instead of it seeming like it's happening again, it is more like a disassociative movie scene playing in my head. If I'm in Public ill remove myself to the best of my ability so I can ground myself before the outward physical symptoms start. Sometimes there is forewarning and sometimes there isn't.

We usually just think more on things that keep us here and make us happy

Its hard but it sometimes gets easier

it is super hard to deal with flashbacks. grounding myself and reassuring myself that i am safe really helps. i definitely use mindless distractions like video games and youtube/netflix. meditation also really helps me personally

I got noise cancelling headphones and played emdr self administered audio tones and allow the flashbacks to play through while listening. Then I listen to binaural beats for higher vibrations for a few min after. It sounds woo-woo but it’s what works for me
