Whenever you have a terrible thought, switch your focus to your breath. The mind will try to distract you with thought activity, but just keep watching your breath. What happens when you do this? Can you try for 5 minutes?
Also, I started making video responses to your mental health questions as a way to better share advice with you all.
The last video I made was in response to @gigix2 who asked about how to deal with depression. If this information is relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group and I will try to make a video response specifically for you.
~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?
