What Do You Usually Do To Feel Better?

[Deleted member 12723]

When I am down, I try to reach out to people and I try to arrange to meet my needs and wants. Much progress on that end.

@gizmo,

I try to reach to people as well. In that area it's difficult, as I don't have much support from family. So I decided to look elsewhere , like on here and other online area's. I do have friends, but I won't let them see me like this. It's been 4ys since the trauma, and here I am, mostly alone.

tired of the fight. I understand being alone. When I was a full time caregiver for my husband with severe dementia I had no friends and no social life as I had to take care of my husband.

I think that it will be allright for you in the end. You will continue to learn and to grow and heal and recover. Remember take baby steps in venturing out with your friends. I wish you the best.

Journal and pray pouring my heart into the pages.

Journal and meditate and exercise and look at the sky

I love to create things. I find that when my anxiety is high, only certain things can be done.

High: meditate, journal, take a bath
Medium: knit, crochet, read, (repetitive, monotonous work works wonders for me)
Low stress: paint, draw, sing, dance, and home renovation

I like watching those "real life heroes" videos on YouTube. Sometimes the situations can be a little stressful but I like seeing evidence that there are good, caring people in the world.

I guess you would say that I have this dialogue with myself and go over whatever I'm dealing with to get to the core of it. I keep doing this self-care, self-talk with myself until I experience being at peace.

It's a wonder too how much work I have done around the house in making changes in it when I'm going through something. So something positive always happens which makes me feel better.

That's a damn good question. And I have virtually no answer for it. Mental note: find more stuff that is tranquilo.

Shooting.
Writing on here.

Okay, self. Time to dust off the cobwebs & remember what I used to do that I don't anymore, or find new stuff.

Listening to music and learning. It helps me to focus.

Sleep.

Do a little something nice for someone else! It always makes my heart soar to know that even if I can't feel better, I can make someone else feel better! (And amazingly, that brightens my own day!) :)
