Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )

I think they are birds too @Former-Member @Former-Member they really did look like eyes in the first photo @Shaz51 !

Yep sky is very pretty @EternalFlower it was around sunset & all sorts of dark gloom & glowing lights mixed together. I'm really looking at clouds differently these days.

Maybe looking at nature is one of my coping tools too.

@maddison , I totally love nature too xx

Thank you so much for acknowledging me and making me feel welcome. I am so grateful for platforms like this one where we can share our problems and learn a thing or two along the way. One thing I am trying at moment is listening to a recording of self hypnosis for confidence boost. It really relaxes me and makes me feel a lot better. Maybe it could help others too💗

Welcome @Serenity2 

Nature is healing @maddison @Shaz51 

My tool box is writing, reading, and checking in with supportive people, when my mood is down or anti people 

[Shaz51]

Great ideas @Serenity2 , @EternalFlower , @maddison ❤

@Shaz51 thanks for the love

Sorry for late reply, just catching up on my mentions!!

I like nature for a coping tool @maddison. It makes me feel like I am just all part of it and have a purpose. It can also remind me I am small in comparison and therefore can taek it easy on myself ❤️

😄 anti people @EternalFlower 👍

Are you reading anything good at the moment?

I bought one of those adult colouring books today. I prefer making my own art, I'm open to trying different tools too😊

[maddison]

You don't need to be sorry - ever @Former-Member 😊 I know, I do it too - it's a silly habit. You must have lots of people to reply to. Honestly, it makes me happy to think you are helping people who really need it.

Love your reply about nature. I agree. I forget so easily too - so much tech these days.... tech to sound like nature🙃

Also there is a loud Cicada outside my bedroom window as I type this. It's really distracting & annoying me....I guess nature is yelling at me now to notice it?!

@Shaz51 @EternalFlower @Serenity2 @Former-Member 💜

Ha ha ha @maddison I am getting an angry cicada face in my mind yelling "Maddison - look at me! Look at ME!!" 🤣

Everyone on here is worthy of time, support and love 💓.
