glad to see you here! i had that happen to me as well. exercising and playing videogames helped. i rarely resorted to it but you can try tearing paper to small pieces.

Hi cc. Good to have you here. The first weeks can be really tough, but it gets better. I also exercised a lot in the beginning. I like swimming, dunno if that is your thing though. It helped me clear my head. I also went for long walks and hikes, listening to music and podcasts. Hang in there.
