why do i sometimes say to myself 'im ok, im ok' quietly

Hi @ellie2000

It is a well-known tip for grounding yourself! Well done. You have a natural instinct to take care of yourself

Do you say this when you are upset and anxious? Are there particular situations where you are more likely to say this to yourself?

i do, i think and my mind goes on autopilot. ideas how to eas the autopilot thinking?

I guess recognising that you are on autopilot is the first biggest step @ellie2000.

Then the recommendations would be to identify what you can see, smell, taste and touch.

Some people say tracing their hands can be really useful too.

Then when you are in a clearer mindset, you can write down or talk to someone about what started it if you are still feeling worried!
