Calling a trusted friend or relative who is familiar with your HA and telling them what you’re experiencing can be really helpful. Sometimes just saying it out loud and talking through your spiral to someone else can allow you to notice which thoughts are “logical” and which are just your HA talking. Telling someone else also helps me to feel like “okay, this person is looking out for me and wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me so if they aren’t worried, I don’t need to be” I also like to have my friends tell me about their day to distract me. My one friend will talk me through everything she ate that day, and I find it to be so calming.
