Hey @Ray34 ,

I mainly wanted to say welcome to the forums. @tyme had some excellent information. I think it's great that you are open to therapy. I practise mindfulness...which is admittedly not great for highly distressed situations but can help prevent you getting to those states by being able to sit with your thoughts without necessarily engaging them. Also, I wonder how you are doing with the fundamentals, like sleeping and eating? These can make a big difference to how well we regulate our emotions. I'm sorry there is such a wait for therapy. Good on you for seeking strategies.
