There will be many times I will start to color cause I feel a little down or just want to color and I end up having my ptsd triggered cause I from time to time can still hear my moms voice teasing me about it.. Or when I go for a walk cause I was feeling depressed and find I want to dash into traffic?
I knit (have a gazillion jerseys), sew (have more clothes than my dressing room can handle adequately) or spend money I don't have and then stress about it or, if possible, take my dogs for a walk.
I was told to turn on the subtitles on my TV and it helps quite a bit. You just don’t realize I guess that you’re actually reading And it really helps with my anxiety just a thought
I will scrapbook, or crochet to distract myself. It really helps me.
Yes too often for me. I go for a walk or try to read a book, used to be two of my all times favourite pastimes, now send me off into a dark a bad place. So for now, I stay away. 😔
