I can’t cope

I’m sorry it got intense @MissGremlin

Was it you or the company?

Yheu say that that self care bullshit works so I’m trying. I haven’t been calling bullshit as it has just come naturally but today I have to try really hard. I only gave the dogs a bone because it makes me smile how much they love them, especially Pix.

I just remembered that I have to have a shower and wash my hair! I might do it later and have a bath after. I got bubble bath, I’ve never had a bubble bath before.

What can I help you with? What else needs to be done?

@Captain24 both but especially the company.

There's days where that self care does come naturally and others where it's a struggle to do. Even just trying means so much though. See that's self care for you cos its something you enjoy doing for them and it makes you smile!

Having a shower and washing your hair later sounds like a good idea, I'll be having a shower tomorrow when I can blast my music while I'm in there. A bubble bath sounds like fun!

Nothing else needs to be done at the moment, I'll have to do lunch soon and then organise things for tomorrow as I make sure everything is set up for the morning. Right now I'm just trying to stay present in this moment, doing my diamond art and chatting to you.

It can be really hard when you suddenly become overwhelmed, and things feel so intense in a split second. You’re not alone in that, and it sounds like you’ve recognised what you need right now, to slow things down and do something that brings you some comfort and enjoyment, like your diamond art

Try and take it moment by moment and be gentle with yourself

If things start to feel too overwhelming again, please reach out to your supports, you don't have to carry this all on your own @MissGremlin 💛

@Nala2022 I'm trying to take things moment by moment. I'm about to have an iced coffee.

Thankyou sweet ❤️.

Just think we are doing this together! I’m sitting here doing the letter P and it’s a maybe colour. @MissGremlin There is a lot of them and they are scattered through the section so I have to check every row and column!

@Captain24 I'm really glad that we're sitting here together with our diamond art. Haha oh the fun 😂

This picture has colours scattered everywhere. Like there's only a few of each in the sections. There's 37 colours!

That must be hard as the is no colours to guide you. At least with mine good ones the colours of the squares help. @MissGremlin That’s a lot of colours. I saw the colours on one of mine and there is 39. I’m not sure if it was the sunset one. That’s the first one I’m doing after Christmas! It’s going to turn out so epic!

I was thinking about when I go on holidays. We do stuff of a morning and mum and dad rest of an afternoon. That’s my beach time! But I’m going to take a diamond art to do in between the time I have to be home from the beach and before dinner! I get so bored so at least I’ll have something to do. I’m not sure whether to take and easy one or the mystery one!

@Captain24 one good thing about not having the coloured background is that it's easy to read the numbers, letters and symbols. Oohhh 39 colours is alot, that will be cool to do though.

That sounds like a really good idea, at least it will give you something to do. I'd say take an easy one only cos what if the mystery doesn't turn out and then you don't want to continue it.

I hope you enjoy your iced coffee and you're able to settle for a bit @MissGremlin

Is there sun out there? Maybe sit outside for a bit too if you think that might help, even a little 💛

@Nala2022 I keep forgetting to drink my iced coffee 😂.

The sun is out here today so I might go and sit out there a bit after and see how it feels.
