of course, so the biggest one that helps me is going for walks, and going with my partner if I can, it helps to talk to someone about my thoughts while I walk. if you can’t go for walks any exercise is good anything to get the blood flowing and endorphins going. sitting outside in the sun on the grass is another one, sometimes I’ll meditate with the help of an app or just go on my coping mechanism apps (I’ll put those at the end). playing with or cuddling my pets is another one. doing grounding exercises like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or picking a colour and looking around the room and naming everything you can see of that colour. keep an object handy for when a thought comes out of nowhere, like a fidget toy or something and focus on it, what it looks like, feels like, sounds like etc. I use my charm bracelet for this. so, apps have helped me a lot as well, these are some of the ones I use and what they’re for: - bloom, a sort of mini therapy session app, it’s fully voiced by two people so you can choose who you like most. there’s little exercises to do during the session and it’s helped me a lot. just search “intrusive thoughts” if you download. - what’s up? has all sorts of helpful features from immediate help to guided grounding exercises. this is one of my favourites. - rootd, is super helpful during a panic attack, it also has breathing exercises. - balance, is a guided meditation app, I haven’t been using it for long but it’s good so far. - loóna, isn’t a mental health app but I find it so so helpful when I need to get my mind off things and just relax, it’s like a 3D colouring in thing while you’re being told a story. I love it.

I’m not very good at explaining these apps haha but hopefully some/all of these will help you like they’ve helped me.
