Focus on your breath. Slow and deep. Take a few minutes if you have it or even just a few second and concentrate only on your breath. It's something that's always with you, regardless of your mental state, and can bring you back to level.

EY2's advice is spot on. Focusing on breathing helps immensely.

Also, focus on relaxing your muscles, especially your face, neck and shoulders.

Another good one is to take a 5 minute walk, outside if possible.

Also, as hard as it may be if you're caught up in the moment, just try to back your head out of it and remember that the world is just a spec of dust. And that things aren't as magnified as they seem in that moment. The world will keep turning.

There is a new wearable called Spire that buzzes you to take deep breaths when it thinks you are anxious. It's worked well for me so far (2 weeks in)

I find myself unable to relax, always worrying about something or the other.. but I'd like to avoid resorting to a drug. Even during massage, acupuncture, facials, etc They're always telling me to relax and I'm like "but howwww?? :("

Use the "pause" app. Take showers in complete darkness. Pay close attention to your diet, possibly take fiber supplements.

I count backwards from 50, especially in another language if possible, because it makes me focus on what number im saying next. I also agree with E2, focussing on your breath helps, too.

I've had people recommend ashwaghanda vitamin supplements. Have friends who swear by it and equate it to Prozac or Zoloft etc

I created this group after battling with the school regarding my son’s behaviors in kindergarten. He had ADHD but was not yet diagnosed with autism. I requested an IEP and they determined he is on the autism spectrum. He’s wicked smart, but has sensory issues. After studying autism more, I realized I share many of his characteristics. I also have ADHD, which is controlled with medication. Any others out there who have or think they may have autism?

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
