Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Lonely and needing distraction

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Former-Member now that is looking cool... I have to admit I haven't done much of that but I should get back into it.  I have something that I am part way through.

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

Hey @Former-Member , just wanted to let you know that due to the heavy nature of some of these posts, this thread has been moved to the 'Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm' space.

 

I can see you are doing your best to find distractions. Be gentle with yourself. Take it moment by moment.

 

I recognise you have been through the whirlwind lately. I hear it is so hard. Yet your resilience and strength really shines through.

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Arbie_wun it's the only thing keeping me in this moment right now. I'm trying to persist but my mind is really drifting off track. 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme ok. Thanks for letting my know. 

 

I'm trying to take things as they come any living minute by minute.

 Here's some of what I have been working on...

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

Thanks for sharing @Arbie_wun @Former-Member !

 

It's great to see how some of these distractions can be so helpful. 

 

Lately, I've found audiobooks very helpful. Then again, I guess it's about what book you are listening to.

 

Have you done diamond art before @Arbie_wun @Former-Member ?

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Arbie_wun that looks awesome. Can't wait to see it when it's finished if you want to share. 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Former-Member when I am finished it sure I will share it.... that is what it's for ... looking at so people can see it!

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme i haven't done a diamond art for a while but I do have one that I've been meaning to do. Maybe tomorrow I can make a start on it. 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme actually I think I know what it is and if I am correct it takes a lot of work to get it right... with all those dots!
