Battles

@RiverSeal i don't know. I've done washing, dishes, i went to the shops, I'm trying to paint but I can't even start, I've got music playing. I just can't seem to do anything to take my mind off of things.

Connection is a strength of yours @MissGremlin and I see you chatting with a lot of Members on the Forums. How do you feel about reaching out and having a discussion with a Member? Maybe share what painting you ahve been able to do today as they always look so good! RiverSeal

@RiverSeal not really feeling like bothering anyone. I haven't been able to do any painting today.

I don't think you would be bothering anyone @MissGremlin as they are your friends and we all have our down days here on the Forums. It's a space for community support and your peers know you well. What are your plans for dinner tonight? RiverSeal

@MissGremlin you wouldn't be bothering me, if you wanted to chat. I might be slowish in replying, but happy to keep you company.

@RiverSeal yes but I'm always having down days lately and I don’t want to bring anyone else down. I don't have anything for dinner tonight.

Thanks @NightFury. Kind of just at the point of distancing myself from everyone to avoid hurting anyone.

@MissGremlin tell me a little about you....

What's your favourite animal?

Favourite food?

What do you like to paint?

I did paint by numbers for a while, it was so...distracting and calming. I love getting creative, but find that I'm really judgemental and hard on myself. I love to draw disney and animated characters.

@NightFury i don't have favourite things. Like I physically can't pick things and just get frustrated.

Painting though, i enjoy doing mandalas.

I'm trying to do a paint by numbers now, they usually annoy me cos i can't stand being able to see the numbers through the paint after. I'm very much the same and and criticise my work. I can't draw to save my life really, but I still try to do the little pics on here. I enjoy colouring Disney pictures though.

@MissGremlin mandalas are cool. Choosing the colours frustrate me, because I have to make them perfect.

I would love to see one you've painted sometime!
