Does something like mindfulness help at all with this?
I’ve found that — with my ostensibly“normal” brain, at least — regularly practicing mindfulness meditation can be really helpful in getting through physically, emotionally, or perceptually difficult moments. It’s a practiced skill that helps take the edge off what would otherwise be overwhelming experiences.
I wonder if this is a practice that could also be helpful for people like yourself?

“Some of the most commonly recommended happiness-increasing strategies in the media, such as mindfulness and exercise, have a weak basis of scientific evidence”

I’m curious about personal experiences here rather than aggregates, which tend to wash out individual differences.
