Hello Puffincat, welcome!
I am relatively new here too, so here is what I have found helpful
1) Peruse the posts at your leisure
2) There are some great links in the threads - namely building a recovery plan
3) It can be easy to stay on this site for hours and lose track of time, so I now dip in and out, so to speak, as and when
4) I keep a journal. Sometimes it's better to get it out of your head and on to paper if thoughts get out of control.
Hope this helps :-)
Best of luck x

Reason: P.S. I forgot to add - keep occupied and enjoy taking a 'break' by either having a cup of tea or by going for a walk
