Since the Antitheocra Town Hall is a bit quiet lately, I thought I'd create a thread to talk about and leave space for community support! I'd like to update this board every few days with some tips to take care of yourself mentally and physically, and I would encourage anyone else to do the same! I would also like to make this a space where citizens of Antitheocra and other states can vent (no Ximboland-related gossip or drama please) and ask for help and support.
To start out, I want to share a list of helpline/crisis resources if you are really struggling and need help. Feel free to talk to us about your struggles, but if you're in a place of severe crisis, I would highly suggest contacting one of the below resources through phone, text, email, or any of the other contact options they provide.
Mental health crisis resources:
UK Crisis Helplines
US Crisis Helplines
EU Youth Crisis Helplines (country map with info for each)
EU Women's Helplines
Canada Crisis Helplines
Find a Helpline resource (many different countries)
List of Suicide Crisis Helplines by Country
Okay, now that that's done with, here's Wellness Tip #1:
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or even nauseous, try Box Breathing! With box breathing, you inhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, exhale for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and repeat for as long as you need. This is a really great way to decrease stress and focus on your breathing, a basic form of mindfulness. This is great in the moment during panic or anxiety attacks, but it also works as a good way to refocus your mind, reduce stress, and tackle some forms of nausea. Try it out now, or next time you need a moment's break :) ♥
