Share Your Coping Skills: Help Others Cope with Life's Challenges

When I'm overwhelmed with an emotion I try to isolate and let that feeling out, usually through singing or making art. I use digital art and just have at it, using whatever colors and brushes feel right

Allowing yourself to explore a new topic or hobby you've been thinking aout without judging yourself for liking somthing or being bad at something at first

Journaling, music, herbal tea.

Art! Doesn’t matter if you’ve never drawn anything more than a stick figure—drawing is proven to be an effective coping mechanism (even if you just do a little 5-10 min doodle a day or when ur feeling stressed)

Dancing for no one but yourself. Music blaring not caring about what you look like. No mirrors or open windows

Lay down and let yourself feel all the things you try to ignore. Don't do anything else, don't get up no matter how bad it is (unless for safety ofc) and just let yourself experience and process what's on your mind

Cold. Or hot. Cinnamon candy and those single use ice pads in my purse on a normal basis. Keeping my panic attacks to a minimum.

Going outside for 10 minutes and just taking in nature

Walking and herbal tea

Cooking or baking while watching/listening to your favorite comfort youtuber or TV show (my go to is the try guys without a recipe series on youtube).
