Daily goals, motivation and check in

@WIP, have you got some hobbies, a coping box to help you xx

O social interactions, on any given day - no-one to phone for a social call.

Oh, I hear you there @Adge

I agree, I think we are quite similar in friendships/social support. Maybe we can support each other?!?

No hobbies unfortunately. I really need to find something. I don't have much confidence anymore creatively, wish I did.

What are your hobbies @Shaz51

Tell me about coping box

'Onya @Adge 🤓 stepping out = yay looking forward to updates

@WIP there are some online peer support programs through Grow. Here is a link for you to see if it is something that may be of help to you:

Maybe we can support each other?!?, that is a great idea @WIP , @Adge

I don`t have any hobbies as caring for my mum and husband

but I love playing "Words with friends" on the computer

reading magazines , cup of coffees

"Coping Box" is anything that helps you get throught the days like reading , colouring in, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords puzzles , videos , favourite movies , reading , anything that you like

Yes support each other @WIP That's why we're here, on Sane Forums.

Thanks @Former-Member Hopefully there will be updates (not Oh this didn't work)...

Gee GROW has eGroups (via Zoom) - that's new news to me...

I was the Organiser of a Grow Group for several years, almost 20 years ago.

Coping Box - I had forgotten about that one @Shaz51 Thanks for reminding me.

Adge

Thanks @Former-Member

I'll check out Grow. Looks like they have an information session each Monday evening, so if I'm up to it, I'll try to zoom in this evening.

Hi @Adge @WIP @Shaz51 @Former-Member so nice to see the support here. @Adge good on you for making so many new connections in your offline life.

These threads might be helpful : what’s in your tool box? Coping Box Self-care management (during social distancing) and also if you put self-care in on the search bar you will find many threads on the topic.

Take care all.

Thank you @eth For your reminders of Toolbox, Coping Box & Self-Care Management.

There are so many Threads & Topics on forums - like a Labyrinth or Maze, which I often cannot navigate (or find things on).

Yes, I shall need to look those ones up again.

No new connections offline yet, that takes much time (or more time).

I've made considerable (repeated) efforts at making new connections, & trying new activities (& places) - that's all that matters the most, I remind myself.

My psychologist was impressed with my efforts (so was I).

Thanks.

Adge

I'm impressed too @Adge Take care
