A friend of mine and I thought of a good coping skill when we were in the hospital together. It might sound stupid...but it helps...especially if you do it with a friend.

Shred up paper. Get old magazines and shredd it all up...it helps...it distracts you...esp. if you're with someone you can just talk to.

hope I helped a bit

It's really helpful! Sometimes then I take some elmer's glue and stick the shreds to paper and make a collage.

Def I used to find that really helpful, I used to shred the paper into words that was how I felt. Forgot about that one thanks!
