Re: not coping

Very long day for you @outlander - hope it means you'll have a deep and restful sleep tonight!

I'm doing pretty well, thanks for asking. Been engaging in my special interest (D&D lol, I'm a big nerd) which has gotten all my creative juices flowing, which I find really helps my mood. You got anything creative you like to do?

Re: not coping

Oh I doubt it lol @Jynx but I need to get some sort of sleep.

Lol well whatever floats your boat! Anything to get the creative juices flowing!.

I like crocheting atm but I don’t really have the time for it right now while I’m applying for jobs, studying and working and sorting out my mess of a home life right now

Re: not coping

@outlander oh coooool! Do you make clothes-type stuff or like, little figures? I've seen some really wild little crochet critters, so cute!

That's rough that you don't have the spare time right now. Still, it might be really helpful to take a little break, carve out some you-time and get stuck into something like crocheting?

Re: not coping

I make blankets at the moment @Jynx but I have made socks beanies scarves and a couple of towels as well but not for a while.
I’ve been going for walks for my mental health or watching comedies. Sometimes I’ll crochet while watching a movie but I’ve also been pretty tired and not up for it at the moment. There’s change in the horizon though so hopefully I’ll have more time soon

Re: not coping

@outlander that's fair - we gotta take breaks now and again, even from doing things we love. Glad to hear change is in the air! Will it mean you have more time for rest and leisure?

Re: not coping

No I don’t think so @Jynx but it’ll give me the opportunity to try out other jobs

Re: not coping

Well fingers crossed you find a job that brings you satisfaction/is supportive, and that you find time to carve out some solid creativity and leisure hours 🤞💜
