Lesson Overview

1.58 – What to Do When You’re Home Alone and Spiraling: When you’re alone and your thoughts start racing toward dark places, the first thing to do is slow everything down. Take deep breaths and remind yourself you are still here in this moment. Text or call someone, even if you don’t know what to say — just hearing another voice can pull you out of the spiral. Put on calming music or a familiar show to create background noise so the silence doesn’t grow louder than your thoughts. If possible, move to a brighter room or step outside for fresh air. Write down what you’re feeling so it leaves your head and lands somewhere safe. You can also hold something cold like an ice cube or run your hands under water to ground yourself in the present. Make a short list of safe distractions — games, drawing, reading, stretching — and keep it nearby. Remind yourself that the feelings will peak and pass like a storm. You’ve survived hard moments before, and this one will fade too.
