7. Avoiding Triggers: This one is simplest to implement and hardest to remember! It's a lot easier to try to ameliorate pain once I'm in it than avoid it in the first place, but avoidance really is key. This is why I no longer socialize in the evenings (to my sorrow) or attend noisy school events.
8. Hugs: Yes, a big, warm hug from someone I love genuinely can make me feel better.
9. Writing: Writing about the pain certainly does not let me focus off it, but it does diffuse anxiety and tightly wound-up nerves, which in turn decreases the pain a bit.
