Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Breathe
Close your eyes and focus on a single point at the tip of your n'ose
Fine 5 things to look at and note details about them, then 4 things you can touch and note their texture, 3 things you can hear and how they sound, 2 things to smell, 1 thing to taste (the inside of your mouth and/or the skin of your hand will do in a pinch for these last two)

Hope whatever it was is over by now, but also that some of these tricks can help in the future
