I use the Headspace app, though they've got some free ones up on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@headspace

Deeply breathing is a way to adjust your body's automatic responses to stressful triggers. I didn't get it at first -- "you just breathe? and that does something?" -- but after doing it enough, it's one of the things that gets me through difficult times, tbh.

Thanks for the tips but unfortunately I’ve tried it in therapy and it hasn’t worked. Neither has virtually guided stuff.

There’s other ways to be mindful outside of just straight up meditating

i guess it just varies from person to person. i use mindfulness as a form of DBT and it really helps. do you mind sharing what methods you're using?

tbh you can also kinda just take deep breaths and think about a goal for the day, reflect, or just space out even.
i used to think it was stupid but it works

I remember once when I had to attend mindfulness training for something, and instead of calming me down, it just made me panic that I wasn't doing homework and I should be doing that instead.
