Re: not coping

OK, that was a quick and easy one lil Sis @outlander.

Let's make it harder. Do you have a chest of drawers or wardrobe. What colour is it? Run your hand over it-is it smooth or rough? Does it feel cool to your touch or warm? How does it make you feel when you look at it? Sad, happy, annoyed or neutral?

Re: not coping

Haha @outlander you can be so funny in the darkest of moments.

So sit on the edge of your bed or chair. Close your eyes. Just take some steady breathes in and out to the count of 10.

When you have done that feel the carpet with your bare feet. How does it feel? Rough, smooth? Can you feel any worn patches? Does it feel like you might get stuck anywhere?

Re: not coping

Mmm that's no good. Have you tried putting them up the wall at all? Cold pack? Do you know what they're aching from?
