I need help… (emotional reactivity)

Hi all,

I’ve got a history of major depression and anxiety. I’m using a ketogenic diet for some health issues, which has helped the depression drastically, but I’m still struggling with a few things.

I went through a 5 year abusive relationship, and that seems to have negatively affected how I respond to difficulties. I over-react overly emotionally, and I try and run away from the situation and frequently want to end the relationship.

I have a therapist and we are working through this together, but I’ve found meditation has helped me in the past.

I was wondering if anyone had found meditation helped them with reactivity? Any specific forms of meditation? I like mindfulness and have used guided meditations in the past.

I’ve also tried apps in the past but I’m really not a fan of paying for meditation.

Many thanks
