Distraction games for when you're experiencing a panic attack or low mood

I'm back with another helpful post, this time I'm going to give you some games you can do when you're experiencing a panic attack or low mood.

First is my favourite, it's to name as many items you would buy from a supermarket beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
So for example: A is for apples, B is for bananas, C is for crafts - it could be anything you can buy from a supermarket or mall.

Second, I'm going for the grounding technique. If you suffer from panic attacks or psychosis and you don't know this technique, write it down or save this blog post as a bookmark for future reference.
It's simple:
tell me:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

And repeat until you're calming down.

Third and last, I'd like to share with you something that helps me when i'm feeling emotional. So when my emotions are getting the better of me.
Put on some songs that make you cry or emotional, this is what I call emotional therapy. Let it all out, it'll be better by the end of it I promise you.





So that's that for another blog post. It's currently 1:41am in the UK where I am, and I'm not tired at all, I've not had my meds tonight which is why I'm not sleeping as I left them at my boyfriends.

Hope you're all well.
