I try to get more sleep and try very hard to avoid stress. When I can't avoid it I listen to music. That's my meditation.
Music is my meditation too! What music do you listen to?
I actually recently bought myself a turn table, which is amazing but when I'm having a flare up it's hard to get up to switch the vinyl lol

I’m trying to get an evaluation at mental health clinic because I can’t de stress rite now. So hoping this helps. I can’t get it lower.
I’m doing a little better. They can’t get me in until late August. But I know how to ground myself it’s just awfully hard at times. I’ve had 4 inflammatory responses this past year. It feels like I’m developing PTSD from my health. Scared that something else is going to happen!!!
Thank you for checking on me

Videogames help me to destress
Taking the time to reduce stress looks different for everyone. Videogames are a wonderful way to get your mind off managing this disease and focus on an activity you truly enjoy. Hope you are feeling well currently. Rebecca (team member) ,
