Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Breathe
Close your eyes and focus on a single point at the tip of your nose
Fine 5 things to look at and note details about them, then 4 things you can touch and note their texture, 3 things you can hear and how they sound, 2 things to smell, 1 thing to taste (the inside of your mouth and/or the skin of your hand will do in a pinch for these last two)
Hope whatever it was is over by now, but also that some of these tricks can help in the future
