How did your errands go? Did you manage to do them? I love cooking and writing too, it usually helps me when I'm feeling down.

* Shares safe hugs if needed * ( and pasta! :P )

I hope you have a great day today

@Ayla Yes I got our errands done, but I had to deal with crowds and it drove my anxiety crazy.

I love to cook almost as much as writing and cats.

*HUGS* Thank you.

Aw, I hear you. Crowds can definitely trigger anxiety. But you got through it and I'm so proud of you!

And cats are awesome! Meow!

hugs.

How are you feeling today? I'm having a very tough patch. My depression is really bad and my therapist has been off sick for a few weeks so I'm struggling to find the support I need. Everything seems to hurt but I'm hanging on in there as best I can and hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel again soon.

How has your day been? My Dad took me out for a really good frothy and creamy hot chocolate this morning. The rest of the day I've sent curled up with my pets and my crochet just trying to focus on coping with one breath at a time.

Let's talk about favourites today!

heartWhat is your favourite coping technique when you are feeling overwhelmed? My favourite coping technique is cuddling my animals and being mindful whilst I spend time with them.

heartWhat is your favourite song that helps you feel better? My favourite song that helps me feel better is This is me from the greatest showman. The lyrics fit so well when I'm struggling.

heartWhat is your favourite comfort food if you have any? Definitely chocolate (cadbury's dairy milk to be specific)

Sending hugs xx

@purpleButterfly24 Glad you got to spend time with animals. That is my best coping skill too. I'm petting my bestie cat Archie right now!! :)

@purpleButterfly24

I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling so much at the moment, dear. Hang in there, we are here with you. It may be hard at the moment and everything seems difficult but I believe in you, little by little, one step at a time, things will eventually start gettting better. Is your family supportive through all of this? We are here with you, I hope you know that.

That hot chocolate sounds amazing! I'm proud of you for coping until now, one breath at a time, little by little, the sun will shine again, don't lose hope.

I love This is me , too, it's a very powerful song. The greatest showman has good songs.

*Shares safe hug and cadbury chocolate*

I feel so happy today! My day has been tremendous!

When I feel overwhelmed, my favorite way to cope is to reach out to my loved ones and get some love. However, if that is not always available, I like to watch ASMR, or name colors I can see.

A song from Steven Universe, "Here Comes A Thought", does wonders for me.

My favorite comfort food is pastas and soups heart
