[teke]

i do a lot of self talk. usually i try to breathe first and think before i allow myself to react. its hard to not react is an unhealthy way but i find that if i can calm myself first, i can usually take control of my emotions and not allow my emotions to take control over me, i try to keep cautious of my thoughts and i find it better for me to do whatever i have to do to calm myself before i try to deal with unpleasant issues.
