Mr. P
I use a lot of self talk. A lot negative, but some positive. When things are scary bad, really really bad & I have to talk myself down off that ledge that's very tempting to jump from, I use a mantra that I repeat to myself till I'm grounded. I also try to embrace myself bec id love a hug. You have to make your own mantra that fits you & where you are. For my worst times I use, " you will be ok." Simple & to the point & each time I stress a different word. When I stress "be" that's the hardest one & usually makes me cry but I know I just wanto BE something.
I also tell myself when things are regally bad, that there's someone out there that's way worse than I am. Not to make myself feel better & push it on someone else,but to know that there's someone else out there struggling more than me & their getting through it. If they can I can too.
Good Luck!
