[quote=Anonymous]Go to a movie, go outside go to a trampoline park. Go outside and dance. Get a pedicure with a friend. Call your mom or a good friend and talk about totally unrelated stuff. Read firefly lane. Go for a long walk with a friend and don’t talk about it. Sit down and write cards to people you love “just because”

I’m a constant ruminator, prone to depression/anxiety and have adhd. Like you I don’t drink sleep well exercise and am now on meds. Like you I still have breakthrough episodes. For me I need to inturrupt the loop. I’m a physical person so physical things help me, as does walking and talking- gets me out of my head. Yoga does same. But you may be different.

Most importsntly , I’d encourage you to simply change your language around it. You’ve now spoken your fear: that it’s the beginning of an episode. But most people would be upset and might ruminate on such an incident. I’d try to meditate on the idea that you’re so lucky! You noticed your ruminating: that’s the first step! This can just be what it is: don’t give your body any fear that you’re heading to a downward spiral. Inside give yourself a hug for being so in touch with your emotions and for using healthy mechanisms like reaching out in this post to ask for help! I think you’re doing awesome. May this pass lightly. Just allow it to happen, trust yourself or god if you’re a believer- trust that the universe is working for you and not against you, and remember you aren’t responsible for outcomes. This experience is in your life for some reason: so just be curious about the lessons you’ll learn and stay grounded and give yourself a nice day! [/quote]
