Just something I've been trying to train myself to do....

Realising that n* is not really that much of a SCARY element of life at ALL in comparison to real dangers like kidnappings, depression, murder etc HOWEVER my brain makes me feel that way at the tiniest of n* related feelings. Even acidy feelings get me worked up these days!

So!
What thought process do you guys find it the most relieving when faced with n* or cramps or d* etc?
Personally I deal way better with pain than n*, I had a very bad headache and managed to let it persist for hours last week without meds and also period pain is horrific but I'd rather go through it than n* whereas anything stomachy, I just want to die...the anxiety makes me exhausted and what might be a 30 minute sensation will feel like I've gone through surgery and at the end I feel proud to have survived it. It's pathetic.

Is it like this for anyone else or do you have coping mechanisms aswell as meds?
