I talk -- Out loud... Most of the times, i dont find people to listen to me... BUT i dont let that bother me.. i just talk.. how i feel abt it.. what i would do if i had the chance, etc. etc.
Some times i even write the thoughts down, as i am speaking them..( i generally do this when there's no one around...)
Sometimes, if i need a distraction, i try and do something i am NOT very skilled at, and try to better it... takes up a LOT of concentration and gives me little chance to think of what was originally bothering me ( like cook a difficult dish, or paint something). (AND i play really loud music when i am doing this)
Hope it helps
It's interesting to know how diff people deal with situations
