@Shaz51 whats a coping box?

my anxiety has flared up over the last couple of days. Have to hold it together for everyone else though. I’m so tired

[Shaz51]

a coping box can contain anything taht you enjoy, like doing , that helps you get through the day my awesome @Bow 

what’s in your tool box?, is a link to clink on to 

and also Coping Box  to have a look at 

you can have books, music that you like , colouring books, puzzles , gardening, reading , cuddlig our furbabies if you have one , favourite videas , walking , ect xxx

Oh, that sounds interesting. I have a few things that I enjoy doing, things that I have started recently during lockdown. Puzzles. Colouring in. Gardening. Painting. 

I can do them sometimes, other times it’s just getting through the moment. My body doesn’t feel right, overwhelming feelings.

we are here for you xxx

Hello @MDT 

[Bow]

Thanks @MDT it is somewhat reassuring to know that I can come here and people can understand and relate a little, but I sure wish I had people in my life that I could actually talk to. It’s lonely. I have family I live with, but I can’t talk to them. They have no idea of the battle that Goes on inside. They need me strong for what is to come.

Cuppa @Shaz51 ? And a box of tissues
