Re: not coping

The market is only a 5 minute drive @outlander so nice and close.

I like supporting small local businesses too.

Where I live there are lots of produce farms around, so I normally get my fruits and vegetables every week from them. They taste so much better and are fresher. We also have apples and berries farms locally that you can go pick your own. They are really popular with tourists especially on weekends.

Re: not coping

You're recognising that you need to talk about it! I hope talking about with psych is helpful @Snowie

Yes I can acknowledge that and hold lots of space for that feeling @Snowie

Hmm yeah when I used to journal I didn't read back over what I had written either

Re: not coping

Oh our very own movie critic @outlander for our movie needs XD hehe - thanks for sharing that because that was on my list to watch

I also like tv shows - definitely more easier to follow and I find it brings me comfort in that theres more of a continuous length to it

Wow! Nightmare next door - is that on any streaming platforms? That sounds like interesting I like to watch true crime docos too - but I haven't really invested time into it completely more so watching short videos or reading about it

Re: not coping

I let my psych read what I have written sometimes but I never will @fluffylight Strange!

@outlander am certainly lucky where we live. I try not to go into town on weekends because it is so busy. Only problem is that it takes an hour to get to appointments.

I see you have been watching a few comedies lately. So have I.

Re: not coping

thats a pain @Snowie but at least you live in a nice place. how far do the kids have to travel to get to school? is that closer then an hour?

i tend to have stuff on when im working or at home so i have some noise. i havent seen any technology for a few days except occassionally being able to check my phone. it was a good detox in a way

Re: not coping

It takes about 15-20 mins to get to their school @outlander depending on what the school traffic is like. Normally easier in the morning.

Sometimes having a detox from technology is good for us. Besides this forum I rarely go on social media these days. I normally have the tv on in the background. I think that noise is good to have.

Re: not coping

oh thats ok @Snowie thats not to far it takes us 10-15 minutes here to get to a school too.

a detox is good. i dont spend much time on social media anymore either mostly just to sell things or to communicate as many dont have my mobile number.
