Care plan

  Stay away from negative ppl. Listen to music. Rest more.

  I quickly take my back up pills

  Talk to my mom, cousins or friends, reach out to people, do emotional freedom technique (emotional tapping)

  stay mindful and do breathing exercise. If I am unable to run ,I try to force myself to go out and take a walk. try to challenge my negative thoughts when my physical symptoms of discomfort goes away

  call or text my counsellor for help

  Avert a panic attack: (1) Walk away from the stressor / take short breaks (2) Breathing exercise (3) Distraction (4) Take meds to reduce anxiety (5) Manage expectations (6) Talk to someone Avert a depression: (1) Pray for help (2) Watch a comedy (3) Count blessings (4) Eat properly (5) Rest early (6) Talk to someone

  I tend to avoid the situation that causes my relapse, it can be perceived or actual stressful situation. That is when I missed work or school.

  to prevent a setback when I experience the early warning signs: I will : -Go out with friends - find closed friend or counselor to give me some advice -listen to music -deep breathing

  I will carry on doing my daily chores , consult my psychiatrist whether I am ok n make sure not a relapse .I will meet friends n take medications daily prescribed by psychiatrist n be positive

  I let my family members know that I'm getting signs of a setback coming soon. I prepare the things that I use when I get a setback which help me feel better during setbacks (like ice packs, medication, grounding stones, etc.). I practice mindfulness. Because my diagnosis is dissociative identity disorder, I sort of call all my different identities together in my mind and try to find out which one of them is having a difficult time and why and how to resolve it.

  Make more effort to practice mindfulness, more discipline in doing my relaxation exercises, get outdoor, and try to identify the thought that is causing the anxiety and see if I can challenge that thought or do something about it.
