Or which one to you use the most/which ones are you still struggling with but trying to develop?
I find grounding to be very helpful when I'm having a panic attack or am overstimulated. It helps keep me in my body. -
Grounding helps me a ton when I've dissocaited, but I'm trying to develop one to help with moodswings and ignoring feelings of abandonment when I'm away from people.
-
both of those are so difficult, i really hope you find something that works for you. i wish i had advice or any form of helpful commentary but honestly i struggle with those myself. you aren't alone in how you feel, effie.

it's okay!! if we ever figure out any coping methods, we can keep this thread alive so we can try to share them with anyone who might have trouble with these things
in terms of feelings of abandonment, it helps if i can try to schedule more selfcare in my day. the feelings don't go away, but i can try to ignore them. unfortunately i havent really discovered a more helpful coping method for that issue.
with mood swings i often try to ground myself and focus on going back to base line, but baseline is numb and empty lol. -
The way I cope is by crying or getting myself out of my own head/thoughts if that helps!

I haven't really done any proper coping, since things haven't been very bad for me in the past month, but when it was bad, I would either age regress or s*lf h*rm.
s*lf h*rm is more of a thing of the past, though. I've been clean for nearly a year now, so yasss very slay /lh -
I usually find a song I'm obsessed with at the time, and try to create a character/universe around it while listening to it on loop, finding different ways to interpret certain lyrics/twist the story around

one of the coping skills i use is age regression .. uhnngjrj don’t make fun of me or anything, it just calms me down
(it’s just kind of a little thing i don’t normally tell anyone, but i trust a lot of ppl on gtq) -
The way i cope is to stuff my face with frosting :D

Lots of ways but I'd say the most helpful one is usually drawing sense it helps boost my self esteem along with improving my skills. 🎨

Usually the Way I Cope is to play DS Games or Drinking Pepsi.
