Every time I get stressed, I want to meltdown/die...

I realise these are not viable answers, how do I deprogram these instincts?

Can anyone recommend a book perhaps?

@SW-User I shall read this, thank you.

@ConanTheLibrarian You're welcome. I like this book because you don't have to read it in chronological order; each chapter is a stand-alone topic. It really emphasizes learning to have compassion for yourself first, then extends outwards.

@SW-User That sounds like something I could use. <3
