10 Coping Strategies for Distress Tolerance
Distress is so uncomfortable that people understandably want to make it go away as soon as possible. At the moment of intense emotions, it feels like it may never end.

These choices are an attempt at coping strategies and calming the distress, but ultimately they don’t support recovery. Learning distress tolerance skills to manage emotion in ways that aren’t harmful will help you remain on the path of recovery and mental wellness.
