    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

    http://www.dealingwithdepression.co....ion-Techniques

    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...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    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?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    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
