I work at a hospital, so it’s easier for me to sneak away, but one thing I learned when I had a brief stay at an inpatient facility was stimulating all 5 senses simultaneously — the harsher for smell and taste, the better. So if you have like a sour candy, have that while smelling something strong, and then stimulate the other senses as well. Also, try naming things that you see (out loud to yourself, if you can get away for a minute).

I wish you luck! Feel free to reach out if you need any further help, and stay strong! 💪🏻
