How do you guys talk to yourselves when you’re in a crash state? Any mantras/go to things to focus on?

My mind loves to go to critical places when I’m more incapacitated. It’s not logical but I feel like I’ve failed, guilty that I can’t just “feel normal,” and very stressed/ashamed when I feel like people don’t think this is real. Intrusive thoughts come sooo easily to the surface when my mind/body defenses are down—nasty things!!

How do you guys validate yourself with helpful self talk? I’m thinking of something like “focus on rest” etc.

Love to you all ❤️
