@tippitiwichet Hey, never feel like your opinions and suggestions don't matter here, just because you don't say much. Nobody is any better than anyone else here--we're a community, and that means EVERYBODY matters. ❤️
@tippitiwichet this is a good idea, plan something that will make you happy #coping
Look up free/ low cost concerts, go for a walk ( looking up a map of your neighbourhood and looking for parks/greenbelts nearby, sometimes l have to drive to “my walk for the day”) Say “at 3pm l’m going for a walk” then get yerself out of the house ( this takes me a considerable amount of time, but if l plan ahead . . .) keep trying, celebrate the small, delicious, amazing, sparkling moments
Count them twice!🌞
@KarenSohne I totally have an alarm set on my phone for 2pm, just to take a walk with my child every day. It is the best.
I do many #coping skills. Mostly that of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). It has 4 main pillars: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness. I find that it not helps in states of crisis, but also in day-to-day life. I'm currently learning coping skills from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) due cPTSD. There's art/creative therapy, journaling, exercise, getting out into nature, music, etc.
@tippitiwichet
It really does help when members see something that is needed and step up to tell everyone. This is a very supportive place.
