I've always been high strung. I have PTSD, but don't want to constantly medicate. Meditation doesn't work. I feel prayer is a waste of time. When I feel an anxiety attack coming on I medicate. What works for you or have you just learned to enjoy it?
I don't do it myself but i like the idea suggested of a blank notebook and pen and just writing random thoughts. Personally i play riffs over and over again on the Uke, just go with the flow. Sing as loud as possible. Or walk in the forest with the dog. ?
I'm an alcoholic but that doesn't work so well for me today. Yesterday I had 5 or so whiskey drinks. Today I have had none. Twenty years ago I could drink you under the table with no problems and no nonsense. I go weeks at a time without drinking. My liver sometimes tells me not to.
