Looking after our well being
Liked what I read about using a 'Coping Box' which was dated from 2015 but still relevant at anytime.
Thanks to the person who suggested same. Love the song " Smoke gets in your eyes" which does happen
that causes tears to flow and heal the soul. Would put a treasured photo of my late husband, photos of
close friends, collected cheerful sayings and lots of hugs to hand out to those who feel lost at times and
in need of friendship. We all need a 'Coping Box' for down days and also good days to make us see that
life is still worth living and there is a purpose for same. May this be a good week for each forum friend
member. Cheers and best wishes. Bimby2

Our experience and stories
Not having a good start to the day but hope it will get better. Feel nauseous and anxious - might be getting
a viral bug - hope not. Do others find that the morning times are the most trying hours? Have tried to have
optimism in my dealing with life's challenges but sometimes feel overwhelmed with same. Starting a
Coping Box as soon as I find things that I want to treasure to keep inside for looking at on down days.
Hope this makes sense as feel all at sea this morning. Love all you people who give such support on this
forum - may your week go well. Thanks from Bimby2.

Re: Looking after our well being
My morning didn't start well at all. Woke up extremely tired and cranky. Drove my girl to school and had to go back to bed. I managed to get a load of washing on the line first.
I hate feeling like this and hate feeling like I'm wasting life.
So much to do and no energy to do it.
Some days I'm ok. Yesterday I pushed myself hard when out for a walk.
Had an upset which triggered ptsd.
I thought I handled ut well , but my body tells me otherwise. 😯
Very frustrating.
I better get moving. Shower might help. 😀
I hope you're not getting a virus.
Lots of rest and water for you. 😀❤
Maybe a nap, if you can. 😴
Hi @pip 💜
Not sure what a coping box is. 😊
I certainly need to cope though. 😀

I love sleeping in. ❤
Afternoons I feel exhausted as well. Around the time to get dinner started.

Re: Looking after our well being
I need another strong coffee and food. Not thinking straight. 😂
I go really flat and sometimes shakey if I don't eat regularly. Anyone else the same?
