Breathing exercises, cold compress, listening to soothing music/sounds. Download the Calm app for your phone. I hope this helps and you feel better soon.

I can't focus on anything but my thoughts. I'm so inside my head, and my mom always tells me to focus on my body and my surroundings, but I can't, or maybe I just don't know how. I try to, but it doesn't help. The thoughts are still there :(
