You never know, sometimes our best ideas come from mistakes.

Re: Life and trauma
@MJG017 maybe. But honestly the more I'm continuing the more I'm hating it.

If you're not enjoying it or getting something out of it, then maybe starting a new one is a better option. It is supposed to be enjoyable after all. Yiu can always put it away and come back to it later if you want to.

Re: Life and trauma
@MJG017 i did put it away for now. Just the more I kept going with it the more things were going wrong. I've quit with the colouring for the night, was hoping to sleep but these tablets aren't working for me.

Its probably for the best if it was just continuing to go wrong. Come back to it, and start something new tomorrow. Being fristrated is probably not the best frane of mind to get to sleep with. I know it isnt for me.

@MJG017 i got some painting stuff today (technically yesterday) so I'm hoping i can do that tomorrow/today. I haven't done painting for a long time so not sure how is gonna go.
I know I'm not going to be sleeping anytime soon which really sucks.

Maybe think about some of the things you'd like to paint later today. Maybe it will act as a bit of a distraction and allow you to get to sleep.

Re: Life and trauma
@MJG017 i can't paint anything myself so I'm just painting a printed canvas. I can't sleep, not with how I'm feeling and all the thoughts and emotions running through me.

@MJG017 @Oaktree when you really need to chat to lifeline and you can't get through what are you supposed to do 😞

Hey @Oaktree ,
TW: Eating habits/Healthy Eating
Content/trigger warning
When I return home, I will be having a focus on healthy eating (Note, this is not merely for 'losing weight'). As I age, I need to watch out with my cholesterol and iron as well as my liver function. My last blood test wasn't the best.
