Re: rough time
it seems to be a theme for me too lately but i guess you are right. 'everything' is a big statement and im sure there are some good things that i could find somewhere. i know whats causing it quite alot though and things just build on top so i tried to journal it out but it didnt clear my mind so much. my brains decided it wants to save every thought ive had the past day or so.
i do like your idea of finding the things that are less wrong. im struggling abit to find what that might be. ive been watching the big bang theory and thats one of my favourite things and i went for a walk to so im not too sure where i could find those...
which coping skills thread are you talking about..? @CheerBear

Re: rough time
It's sooooo hard when lots of things build up, not to feel a bit consumed @outlander. Really hearing you!
You do really well with trying things you know help you. Did you see/hear/feel anything nice on your walk? We have lots of pretty gardens here and I often find interesting flowers that give me a moment break from it.
The thread is the "got a coping strategy..." one. So many older threads that have some great things in them. There's the ABC self care one too.

Re: rough time
ah yep thats my old thread @CheerBear i hadnt thought of it thank you for the reminder, ill have a look back over there and see if something sticks out.
you know, i didnt even take any notice of my surroundings on my walk, i just kinda walked. the only thing really is the wind is pretty cold here so i felt that.
i have to pick up the kids soon so that might give my mind abit of a break but they often can make it worse- unintentionally of course, its just the brain mode im in atm.

Re: rough time
It's great that you got out for a walk @outlander. Yeah I thought it was a thread you started.
I feel similarly with picking up the kids. It definitely can take my mind off stuff for a little while. It puts it right onto other stuff though!
I meant to ask whether sister/s have caught the slime frenzy bug too? That's something that can be really cool maybe even for you also. I find slime a really soothing distraction. The smell, feel etc is a great 'mindfulness' activity, plus some of the recipes take some working out.
Big hugs to you 💟

Re: rough time
yes your right there! its often stops one thing but strts another when the kids are home hey @CheerBear
no my sisters havent caught onto that one thankfully! but im sure if i show the little one she would be onto it straight away. the middle one is a teenager so isnt quite into that sort of thing now.
i hadnt thought of it as a mindfullness activity though so thats an option too.
thank you and big hugs for all your feelings of wrongness too

Re: rough time
Fluffy slime is where it's at @outlander 😁 Might be a good one to keep in mind for next time you have little sister to keep entertained. Even teen might enjoy it - slime can unlock everyone's inner child I think haha.
Hi @MDT. Hope your afternoon is going along OK
