Without alcohol: focusing on things I'm confident about. I'm pretty damn good at my job, and if I can flip my mind into work mode, I can overcome a block. But if I'm very insecure and/or under attack from someone I care about, that doesn't work. Focusing my attention on living things under my care such as pets helps me to forget about me and focus on others I'm responsible for, kind of like work mode. If I can't escape my trigger(s) then I shut up, and too often end up on Reddit or stuck in my own head if I can't literally walk away. Also, alcohol isn't a solution, just something I unfortunately gravitate towards when my inescapable human triggers are around.
