Re: Best Friends Club

Re: Best Friends Club
@rav3n i haven't done anything. I don't even feel like I'm here today. I'm trying to colour but I'm not even able to focus. Not sure what's wrong with me today.

Re: Best Friends Club
that's okay, we can just sit in this moment as we are, no pressure @Former-Member you mentioned you don't 'feel like your here' today, what sort of activities or things make you feel more present or 'here'?

Re: Best Friends Club
you don't have to apologise, that's totally okay!! @Former-Member things that have helped me feel more 'here' are helping other people, gifting them things (i've made bracelets for strangers and friends). also spending time in nature or under the sun, feeling the grass between my fingers and my leg on the floor. smelling the fresh air/flowers, watching birds and bugs, etc. - i think focusing on the little details of things (like how you focus on little details when you colour) using the 5 senses tends to help me - thought i'd share them with you - absolutely no pressure if you're not feeling up to trying them!!

Re: Best Friends Club
@rav3n thankyou for the ideas. Right now I don't have it in me to do anything. I'm fighting back tears cos it's all just too much right now.
