So I have an FP and as most people in here know it’s very hard when they don’t reply as quick as I want them to. I’ve been going to therapy and it’s been super helpful but I still struggled with them not replying and I would overthink everything and spiral on them. I would lash out and say they didn’t care they hated me they were going to leave etc. I didn’t think they understood how hard it was for me or how I felt cause I was texting them. So one day I decided I would send them a video message of me like telling them how I felt while I was in the midst of spiraling but I messed up on some words in the video so I had to redo it. I kept doing this until I finally had a video they could understand but by that time I was calm and I realized I didn’t want to send them a video of me saying they hated me etc. It gave me the time I needed to calm down and process my emotions. Then I use the skills my therapist gave me to communicate how I felt in a calmer state. I’m not sure if it would work for anyone else cause I know that I’m a lot better at controlling my emotions. Even when it does get to that state of spiraling so that could be part of the reason why this coping skills works but I think it’s worth a shot.
