Yea music helps me, I listen to music all day even in the shower.
Music doesn’t help me. Makes it worse. I think I need visual distraction matbe. Tv is one distraction that helps me though. What kind of music do you listen to? @GrayBear @Aziz

For me TV is worse, news and most contents are triggering for me but we’re all different I guess. I don’t watch TV. I listen to lots of music types, reggaeton, english and french rap/hiphop, arabic, dancehall and sometimes house music.

Exercise is helpful. Go for a walk with someone or do some light in-home aerobics.

Specifically I watch The Office over and over. I have watched all seasons over a dozen times. I even watch it to fall asleep.

My brother used to watch this, maybe he’s still watching it.
For some reason it is calming for me @Aziz

Video games are pretty chill. Something non triggery. I like retro stuff for that.

Back in 2008 when I was unmedicated, the person or entity monitoring our house would talk to me on the TV set. They would also broadcast embarrassing things about me. I have to turn the TV off at times.

I am sometimes monitored via my tv but only when they are really focused on me. The bedroom in my bedroom has always been safe. My whole room is safe

That would be a really good distraction I could see that working. If something were really simple. TY
How about you just draw something I’m sure someone will like it a lot and it works.

That might help. Maybe colouring. I will try colouring tomorrow because it is visual. I forgot I have a really good book. I am watching The Office right now. It helps
Do you have a Playstation 3 or 4 controller? Instant retro setup.

Have an xbox one @naturallycured
What kind of games
That can work fine too. Basically plug and play, I think. On windows at least.
Try SNES or Playstation RPGs, there’s so many of them. JRPGs are really relaxing.
Try Chrono Trigger for SNES, that’s a great one.

Play hard cognitive training apps like dual n back. The more mental resources you use less space left for needless thoughts and worries. Remain busy.
