It’s often hard for me to calm myself down. When I get particularly upset or OCD about something, then I hyperventilate or have panic attacks, and it’s difficult to come back down to earth.
But today I realized that certain distractions are paramount to my mental health. My new favorite? Outlining the plot to Ash, that ridiculous novel I wrote in 7th grade. It distracts me nice and good, and makes me giggle. Win-win, eh?
