Being out and about other people is the cure. Find someone you can help, above all do not isolate. being alone is perhaps the last thing I would do 🙂 My worst time is on long drives because I am alone… with my thoughts. I am creating visions and conversations in my mind, that are not reality, but my body feels as if they are. I can have a relationship with a person that is totally in my mind, it is NOT a relationship, it is not real. Any suffering I am causing myself.
So I listen to audiobooks when I drive. When in bed I read or sleep. When I watch TV I watch with someone else. When alone (and not driving or engaged in a specific task) I meditate. I use mindfulness to put myself in the moment. In the moment there is no fear. The imaginary things with their suffering is not there.
