Nothing makes me happy *SH triggers*

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
