Coping Box

Coping Box

Hi Guys,

My psychologist came up with an awesome idea to help me when I'm feeling urges to SH or suicidal or if I'm having a hard time coping.

It's called a Coping Box. You get a box and put things in that are helpful to you. So I have a good book, a disney movie, pictures of my pets and animals. It's also got some puzzles, a stuffed toy and a video game.

So @NikNik and I thought it'd be good to make one here for members. We can put in photos and quotes and all sorts of good things to help remind what we are fighting for.

I'm gonna put in some caramello koalas, and my favourite fuzzy blanket so you can wrap yourself up at feel cozy and safe.

I will also throw in a 'hug'. So if you ever need a hug, come over here and I'll be waiting and ready with a hug and ready to listen.

I second that @NatalieS. I will add my little dog too. I had two tiny paws under my chin last night, as she stretched her little body as long as she could.

This is such a wonderful idea. My cat is number 1 Percy. He has been there for me through everything. He is so sweet, he has big green eyes and soft silky black and white fur. Just him lying next to me makes feel better and hearing his purrrr.

And I'd include some of the stones and crystals that I've collected...sometimes I am comforted by touching and caressing the different surfaces.

You look cute, you don't scare me. Maybe if I were a cat, you would!!! But, I am all Purple & Hairy! 😛 😉
