You're doing brilliantly
Thanks
I’m having a bit of a dip now. Going to try and do a bit of sudoku, tried taking Ted out for a walk but the fireworks spooked him (and me) so sudoku it is.
Any ideas for distraction would be good.
There's a lot in here

Me personally, at the moment my main focus is studying but I also read a lot. I colour, cross-stitch, knit, draw, write, bake or do diamond mosaic pics too
I’ll have a look thank you.
I read, colour and bake too. Finding it hard to focus on reading at the minute though.
I know what you mean. I couldn't read for a lot of this year as I couldn't concentrate. I had to force myself to do my uni work most weeks
I agree, you are doing brilliantly!
Our dogs were terrified too.... I crochet, read when I can, write, and bake...
Thanks guys.
I’m feeling sleepy so off to bed.
Going to do a breathing technique to try and chill out a bit more before sleep.
Have you tried mindfulness?
Been awake for a while and struggling for a distraction so thought I’d have a look at distraction techniques on DWD.
I’ve tried what I can for this time in the morning. I do have a couple of bananas that are very ripe so could bake my chocolate and banana loaf but motivation isn’t there for doing it and I’d wake the house if I started now.
I haven’t tried mindfulness Paula. Is it ok to try when I’m very low and struggling with my thoughts?
Posting on here is providing a distraction for now.
I was taught mindfulness when I was a patient in a psych hospital and was struggling badly with my thoughts so I’d say yes. You can find info on the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress...n/mindfulness/
I’m glad we can help distract you, lovely, and that you found us :)
