I am not coping well at the moment. I feel like my mental health is like a roller coaster going really fast. Moods are constantly switching so are my alters. I feel like I'm stuck in my own thoughts at the moment and feel like I can't escape them. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent than usual. Feeling numb aswell.
@outlander - can you stay and chat I very scare. I no okay

Re: Not coping
i love artsy stuff @Fluttershy1 doing something each day sounds good
have you tried scrapbooking? thats more of an on going thing of course but you could work on that slowly depending on your alter at the time.
what about making a bag like a resuable shopping bag out of some material?
crochet? knitting? diamond art? pour painting? card making? you could start some for christmas? cross stich?
