@Former-Memberthe good thing about colouring is you don’t have to focus too much. You can be a bit free and see how it turns out. Same with painting I suppose too, just let yourself paint and see what you get at the end.

Puzzles do need a bit more focus, but I find that if they are a bit difficult I can just think about the puzzle and not other things.

@Till23 i paint and colour detailed pictures so it's got to be planned and I have to focus. It's the only thing that keeps my attention long enough to avoid other things happening.

Puzzles are a good distraction for me aswell but need space to be able to do them.

@Former-Member When you said puzzles I was actually thinking of word puzzles like crosswords or sudoku or word finding ones etc. Now I think you mean jigsaw puzzles?

I sometimes use those books you get from newsagents or Kmart etc where they have drawings you can colour, there are some funny ones

@Till23 i do all sorts of puzzles but yes this time i was talking about a jigsaw puzzle.

I have all sorts of colouring books, ones with swear words, mandala ones, patterns, animals, Disney ones, flowers, buildings the list goes on.

@Former-Member hey darlin, just been catching up on what I've missed, saw you had a pretty rough time the other night. How you travelling today? Saw you've been getting artsy too hehe noice!

@Jynx hi. I'm really not ok at the moment.

Oh no @Former-Member that sucks 😣 Hugs for you my friend 🫂

Here to keep ya company for the evening then if you like!! Wanna talk about your day or pick a different topic?

Hey @Former-Member, sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. What is going on for you at the moment? RiverSeal

@Jynx thankyou. I'd like that. I'm trying hard to just not completely fall apart, trying to just keep breathing and somehow get through this if that's even possible.

@RiverSeal i was hurt pretty badly yesterday, my fault for trying to stick up for myself.

@Former-Member yessss lean into the power of your breath, I hope it helps settle your system a bit. Distractions doing the trick today or is brain too foggy?

Oh no what happened yesterday? Only if you wanna talk about it, sometimes I don't like rehashing stuff when it's too raw, stresses me out.
